No but if you want to file a complaint contact the police department in question and say you want to file a complaint. Have the officer's name and information available.

No, they could not have stopped them from talking about because we have this thing called free speech and we don't want the police taking action because of opinions. They might have sent an officer to follow the threatening people and they should have removed the people if you requested it, but your endless sentence is confused by that point.
To answer your direct question, you go to the superior officer, police chief, mayor or city manager, or FBI in that order if you have a valid complaint.
If they are refinancing the home, then they own the home, right? Which means they are your landlord and while they can't threaten you with bodily harm or carry it out, they can evict you.

Call the Police Department (or go by there) and ask to speak to the officer's supervisor. Tell them what your problem is and see what they say. If they give you an explanation that you are satisfied with then great. If they can't explain why the officer said what he/she did to your satisfaction (the supervisor may wonder why they said it also) then tell them you want to file a complaint. That's how you file a complaint about an officer.
I'm not entirely clear on what happened because I had a hard time following your explanation. But the above process will work just fine.

If your paying rent and live there, yes, you should have the right to tell them to leave. As for as the Police, I would go talk to his Captain or Superior Officer first, while file a complaint on a officer that really did nothing except try to keep the peace. Sounds to me like you and your boyfriends parents needs to sat down and talk a lot of things out, before calling and wasting the time of the police. Only thing that bothers me is why, they felt it necessary to stop by the police station before coming to the house, sounds like they expected problems in the first place. Your boyfriend needs to get back home, and get this settled, it is his parents.

If your boyfriend's parents are refinancing the house, then they are the owners. You are renting from them, making them the landlords. Things get a bit fuzzy and start becoming civil, not criminal in a case like this. If they had already stopped (notice the 2 p's) by the PD and spoken with them about the situation, then it sounds like they had all their ducks in a row. Police are actually quite limited when you get into civil disputes. They don't do things you guys think they should because of these restraints -- not because they just decide they want to make your life more miserable.

It's hard to say what the officer could/could not do without knowing the totality of the circumstances. Your description is pretty vague and it kinda makes it tough to figure out what's going on; Do your boyfriend's parents pay the rent or do you?
Anyway, to file a complaint, against the officer, ask (on the phone or in person) to speak with the supervisor and explain what happened. If the supervisor feels the officer in question acted in a manner contrary to law or departmental policy, he/she will reprimand the officer.

The complaint must be filed with the Internal Affairs Department of the Police Force for an administrative case and/or file a criminal case in court.

#1. Chief of police
#2. NO "by law" you CAN'T have them removed because you rent
#3 it's THEIR HOUSE
#4 they don't have to leave their own house because they own it!! and they can't make you leave because you are a legal tennant. To make you leave, they'd have to legally evict you.
Sorry, but both of you are stuck in the house because that's how the law keeps dishonest landlords honest. and landlords are able to inspect the property with reasonable notice. which i'm sure they did by telling their son, not you.
I can see why they came and argued with you while he was outta town.
