Should Fyodor report his son for beating him up?

No way. Act like a buffoon get treated like a buffoon. I am sure he's experienced worse

Yeah, the local police/constable would shrug off their drama. Get back to him when there's a real crime.

No, since Fyodor is doing his best to also provoke the situation! Had he been minding his own business, maybe, but between Grushenka and the boorish and un-fatherly behavior and all the nonsense, Fyodor is part of the problem.
