I think it would be smart idea to not resist arrest but if it is found they made a mistake you should be able to kick their balls in.

The cops can be charged if they use unneccessay force. But if they break into your house to execute a good faith warrant and you resist them, then you can still be charged with resisting arrest, though its likely that those charges would be dropped.
