You can do 2 things:

First, police have supervisors. You need to go to that cop's boss and insist that a report is made and delivered to the DA. If he were 17 it would possibly be an adult felony. It would be handled in juvenile court so you might not know if anything is done.

The other thing is you can retain a lawyer and sue his parents for damages.
