Under such circumstances, charging them would be contrary to national policy.

Cops at least have certain employment standards, and a PD Chief is hired. A Sheriff is elected, and hires whomever he wants.
They should have to pay for that couple's house and pay for them to move.
The jerks who held them at gunpoint should be prosecuted for a hate crime.
