What is the header of that piece of paper saying that the 4 thugs were on the neighbor's property? Is that a trespassing complaint of some sort? Is it an affidavit?
From what I gather in your posts the police officer made a big mistake about who attacked who and it sounds as though he refused to correct his mistake. It sounds as though he got very stubborn and self-righteous about protecting his original but erroneous judgment call.
The local newspaper might run an article about it.
Here is another thought. Sue in the civil forum - a $30 civil complaint asking for compensation for injury. Once the complaint is filed have a process server drop a copy off with the District Attorney. Look at this:

16-2-105. Issuance of summons after complaint. A summons may be issued by the clerk of the county court, if a sworn complaint has been filed by any person with the county court requesting issuance of a summons under simplified procedure. A copy of a summons so issued shall be supplied to the district attorney or deputy district attorney for the county. If the district attorney so requests, a warrant may be issued by the county judge, upon a showing of probable cause. In such event, the person named in the warrant shall be brought before the court as provided in the Colorado rules of criminal procedure.

[Go into the Colorado Statutes and then County Court Provisions, then look for 16-2-105 first by "Title 16" then "Chapter 2"...] By the way folks, this looks like a free
Lexis Nexus subscription but I don't know how extensive the privileges are.

It would seem that they have legislated around the matter in the State of Colorado corporation by repealing the statute but it is the DAs job just the same; if a criminal matter is brought to his attention then he should prosecute it.* Here is what got transferred into the federal jurisdiction (since everything is admiralty anyway @ Rule C(3)(a)(ii)(B) attached below.

* I am not finding it online so I may have to go downtown and get into the older C.R.S. books to see it. In the video clip what I am showing got repealed is the clerk's duty to issue a summons upon any verified complaint. I went a few rounds back in 2000 with the clerk of court about that but he is more afraid of the Attorney General than me. That was just
after the Repeal of the statute too. But I recall there was a stipulation that if a complaint were brought to the DAs attention and it involved criminal activity - in this case felony assault against the elderly - then the DA would be compelled to pursue it as though reported by a police officer. That is what the clerk of court wanted me to do back in 2000, and the summons would be issued by the county court. Subsequently I could show the complaint for review to the District Attorney. All I had to do was file my complaint in the civil forum which I had objections to going into. If your friend carries a driver license (is identifying himself as a quasi-government employee) then he may not have such objections.
