assault charges. they went too far
absolutely not.
yesIn most states if an officer is dispatched to a domestic call and there is evidence that an assault took place then they are required to make an arrest. The police do not press charges and neither does the spouse. The prosecutor presses charges.
1)He abused his officer in the past when he was the captain of French army. 2)He took bribes from the Turks in 1828 and handed over the "Fortress of Yanina".
Police can still press charges against you at a later date even if they decline to right on the spot. Sometimes they might not have enough information to charge you at the time.
Yes, they can be charged with assault or battery if the victim is another police officer. If the bad cop is a big bully and no one likes him/her, then it is more likely they will be charged or fired. Often, however, cops don't file charges against other cops and will try to work it out in other ways. Sometimes the charges will only be internal, that is made by one cop against another and the matter is handled within the department.

no, unless you report something that conters the reason you got charges (if they are even related)Added: The police do not have the power to drop charges against you. Only the prosecutors office can do that.

An open case of what kind? Unless you were found not guilty, or the charges were dismissed, any serious or semi-serious criminal or traffic charge against you would probably prevent you from being hired as a law enforcement officer.
States define crimes differently. It is probably obstruction of justice, but many states have a specific crime "giving false information to a law enforcement officer" or something to that effect. The state can bring all appropriate charges for the crime.
Difficult to answer. If there was an arrest involved, the arresting officer(s) will also testify as to what they saw and observed at the time. If their testimony is strongly indicative of the fact that an assault did occur (i.e.: obvious injuries - etc) the judge may discount his testimony and could convict you anyway. What most people don't understand, is that in Domestic Violence cases it is not up to the victim whether THEY want to press charges or not. Domestic Violence is a criminal assault crime committed against 'the state.' Your husband may be a reluctant witness, but it is not within his power to "drop" the charges.
