cops blow up a innocent families house in pursuit of a suspect. family receives nothing in compensation

So the police can blow up your home and only give you 5k in rental assistance as compensation. I wonder what insurance policy is needed to protect against pig incursions?

I know this thread is all knee-jerk ACAB but the victims are not actually the owners of the property so they just lost use of the home, they hopefully had rental insurance which likely covered the monetary losses (implied by the $5k going towards a deductible) and just need to find a new place to live. The police wildly overreacted but surprisingly didn't end up killing any people or dogs, so honestly this is probably the best case outcome given how militarized the police have become (lol 20mm shells and tanks?).

The real travesty would be insurance not covering this, since you could wrap back around to ACAB and call the police terrorists and this being an act of terrorism, and insurance policies do not cover that.

I suggest reading the article

quote:

John Lech, his girlfriend and her son moved in with Leo Lech and his wife, who lived 30 miles away, requiring John to change jobs. The $5,000 offered by the city “was insulting,” Leo Lech said.

His expenses to rebuild the house and replace all its contents cost him nearly $400,000, he said. While insurance did cover structural damage initially, his son did not have renter’s insurance and so insurance did not cover replacement of the home’s contents, and he says he is still in debt today from loans he took out.

any large expenses Lech incurred are because he chose to do more than necessary, and chose to “repour the foundation that wasn’t damaged, and [build] a bigger better house where the old one stood.” Lech insisted starting from scratch was necessary.

So they're trying to use insurance money to rebuild their house bigger, neglected to actually get the correct insurance to cover contents of their home, and somehow this is the city's fault? Do people sue God when a tornado comes through and they didn't buy the right insurance?

The sad thing is that apparently there is lots of precedent case law that supports the judge's ruling. That is the real crazy part about all of this. Imagine thinking that the 5th Amendment says it's okay for the government to nuke your house from orbit because a petty thief commandeered your kitchen. Just imagine.

The context of there being a 9-year-old in the house when they nuked it from orbit? The context of severe structural damage requires a lot of rebuilding and may very well require foundation repairs? The context of they should have had tried to negotiate with the man instead of endangering the life of the 9-year-old that was inside the house?

The amount of victim-blaming in your post is staggering. A person should not have to get insurance for the possibility that their home will be exploded by the police.

That was a quote from a spokewoman for the town. You are quoting propaganda to disprove the homeowner's need to make foundational repairs to their property after the local police drove a loving APC into it.

What the gently caress?

In no world was this

There is so, so, so much wrong with this story (from 2015) that it's loving insane you would bother to get caught up in attempting to hold accountable the renter or homeowner. Just loving nuts.

We've got exactly two precedents to look back on and only one since broadcast journalism existed.

So first, there's nothing stopping the senate from doing this in a closed session if they really, really want to. They'll have to change a few rules, but that's trivial when they'll have to establish the rules for their trial anyway.

It's a safe bet that it'll be on television. It's too significant of event for republicans not to want to use it for grandstanding. It's just if they wanted to keep people out, they could.

no, rules already exist, they'd need a majority to change them and in practice it's not going to happen because it'd require Romney, Murkowski, Collins, etc. to all be on board

this is why McConnell is holding briefings on what the rules are to inform the republicans about it, not discussing what they might be

They did, for 19 hours, and the kid wasn't in the house.

Y..yes? It's not like you buy insurance specifically for when the cops come and blow up your house, it covers you for everything with a few exceptions. If the dude had rental insurance it would have covered the contents of his home either way.

Again, I'm not defending the police actions, they overreacted, but the dude was armed, and the kid was not in the house.

So you think using a tank was an overreaction but also that there shouldn't be any consequences for the police or recourse for the victim. Interesting.
