You can sue the police. You just have to have substantial evidence of wrongdoing on their part.

Police officers are typically protected by qualified immunity, which shields them from being personally sued for their actions performed in the line of duty. Additionally, there are legal doctrines such as sovereign immunity that can prevent individuals from suing government entities like police departments. These legal protections make it difficult for individuals to successfully sue the police.

Are you obligated to sue if someone breaks your nose?

By law, the cops are not allowed to force you to sue if someone breaks your nose. They won't say:"You won't sue him/her for breaking your nose, you're going to jail." They're not allowed to do that. You're the victim, so you decide wether you sue or not. If you refuse to sue or file a police report, the cops will respect that, but they will tell you the consequences of not suing or filing a police report or taking your assailant to court.

Can i sue the police if my car in broken into while its sitting in the police impound lot?

You can attempt to sue for anything. You would just have to find an attorney willing to take your case. You would need to prove that the police were negligent, as landowners are not guarantors of 100% crime-free property. If you have not already, it would be a good idea to file a police report to document your incident.
