You can TRY but you risk being charged with false police reporting. The notion of law enforcement "bullying" you into perjury or false police reporting, especially if you called them to the scene, is inherently "problematic." Anyone who has practiced criminal or family law for more than a month has seen the claimed victim of a DV event later try recant the police report when the reconcile with the offender - its the reason why so many prosecuters now prosecute victims who try to imepede prosecution.
