When he gets like this it creates so much havoc and hatefulness and does very violent things and calls me and my husband the most terrible curse words that are just awful. He picks up objects and literally will try to fight. He fell and broke his wrist doing this activity, hitting and striking at us. It's a terrible thing to go through, then he will call the police and have them come to kick us out of the house and the police make us leave, get out it is his house they say, and we always have to take what we have on our back and we leave with nowhere to go, etc. It is really hard on me Everytime he does this but then needs us to come back after a couple of days. What can I do to keep him from doing the kick out activity? He is terrible!!!!

What can I do to keep him from doing the kick out activity? See if he is willing to get medical help or you be willing to get out and stay out. That kick out come back, kick out come back must be very hard.
Are you living rent and utility free, and that's why you continue to put up with him? I'd rather live under a bridge than have to put up with his nonsense. Your father obviously has some serious mental issues, and until they're addressed, things will never get better. So get out now, so you can live somewhat of a normal life. Best wishes.

Your father needs more or different help than you folks are giving him. He might need a stay in a psychatric unit to get meds on board to calm his agitation.
Find another living situation. Call Adult Protective Services and report him as an elder in need of assistance.
Sometimes the ONLY way to get our elders the help they need is to withdraw our assistance.
