Get a video camera and use it. May help protect you from the restraining order if they see the other party being out of control.
My 2 cents anyway.
Remember, this neighborhood is relatively quite and has been for 8 years. Then they move in and the cops have been there because of these people more times in one month than I've seen cops in the neighborhood since I've lived here. Somethings gotta get done and By God, if no one else is going to do it, I am.

AND, I do think the officer that responded to your call was a bit off with the comments about carrying around the house, driveway and yard....
I also think that policelink was the wrong forum to post such an emotional essay to, and I'm not surprised by the responses that you have received there. What did you expect the officers to do? Unless you were being physically threatened and had sufficient evidence of it, there's not much they can do but tell your neighbors to stop it unless you have a restraining order. So, since you don't want to move, and obviously you can't force your neighbors to move, your only option is to apply for that restraining order.
I understand that you felt threatened, and that you were disappointed in the officer that responded, but as I believe was stated on the other site, you can't carry a policeman in your pocket 24/7.
What kind of problems are you having to the point where you would need to call the cops? You don't explain the situation here.
What is up with the money they ripped off?
What kind of threats?
How have they "harassed and threatened you"
Why are the police always at their house?
