You shouldn't let this bias your views on all police, many of them do their jobs very well, and are in it to protect the rights of the innocent. I'm not saying to just let this go, just don't be hating all cops, because one day, you could be in need of one.
As Trippin' said, you're probably going to want some solid evidence, witnesses...etc, because sadly, a beaten up body can only prove that somebody WAS assaulted, not by who.
A hospital should have all kinds of security, so I don't think you'd have anything to worry about in terms of them visiting him...however, I'm wondering what your brother in law did to bring this on? I mean...sure it sounds like an over-reaction, but I find it hard to believe it was COMPLETELY unprovoked. You'd better talk to him and make sure he's not keeping anything from you, and yeah, asking for a security detail shouldn't be a problem.
Also, if he's sustained a serious hit to the nuts, blood at the mouth isn't uncommon. Pissing blood, however...that would usually indicate some other kind of damage, no doubt the hospital will check this out.
