From 2015: A suburban house in Colorado is destroyed during a 19-hour standoff with a shoplifting suspect. The homeowner, who had no connection to the suspect or the crime, was later offered $5,000 for the damage by the city of Greenwood Village, and he sued. A federal court denied the homeowners any compensation for those damages in 2019. On June 29, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will not hear the case.

Keep backing the blueee and this is what happens. That cop got a raise and paid leave.
Laws need to change regarding suing the government…
5K that is laughable. Are you serious!! They need to take responsibility!! Wtf they completely destroyed his house and now left with nothing!
1:36 when you’re playing R6 and playing as “Ash” and your using the rocket launcher gadget.
Why wouldn’t the cops b held responsible for this??it doesn’t make sense..
2 belts cost more than the house
Cops suck
YOUR LISTED ARE UPDATES ARE JOKE….. ONE WHICH INCLUDES COMMENTS FLLYOD THE DRUGGIE AND ARMED KILLER…. OTHER ARTICLES ARE ALL USELESS AS WELL……
Can't make this stuff up
Wow, a whole $5000 they offer?? That probably would fix 2 windows at best. Not acceptable
Complete scared cowards afraid of one man.
Burn it down
Passing the hat on the day of the house-rape would have produced more than $5000.00. $5k to play with all their toys on a real house, bargain.
Did they get at least get the shirts and belt back to justify the damage?
THIS is why the police need to be defunded ! There is absolutely no reason or excuse for police departments to not only have tanks , surplus military weapons , equipment etc but enough ammo that they can waste it like this . They were clearly not doing a damn thing but playing with their toys and stroking their d!cks and egos FFS !
shit was hopping this guy would get paid…sorry.
Even the SCOTUS denied to hear their case. Well, fellas. If this ever happens to you, just shoot the bastard and drag him out to the sidewalk.
