Guy stole 2 belts and a shirt from Walmart then broke into the homeowners house. Police decided the appropriate response was 100 officers and destruction of the building.

"Under no circumstances in this country should the government be able to blow up your house and render a family homeless," Leo Lech, the house's owner, told NPR. "This family was thrown out into the street without any recourse."

Sounds like the real POS is the shoplifter that decided to barricade himself in a strangers home instead of taking the L.

Hopefully this guy can get a GFM set up to cover what insurance didnt.

Nah the real POS are the ones who decided petty theft warranted demolishing a home.

Part of the very first paragraph.

In an attempt to force the suspect out, law enforcement blew up walls with explosives, fired tear gas and drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property's doors.

Because suing someone who needs to steal clothes isn't a complete waste of time and money.

If you think what the police did was ok, then you would probably be fine living in a dictatorship

Idk how anyone could possibly think it would be fine for the government to show up and destroy your home because a shoplifter ran into it to hide from the police

The existence of a crime does not justify any and all attempts to apprehend its perpetrator. Blowing up the guy's house is a choice that didn't have to be made.

While I agree the city should have paid all expenses damaged. You did leave this out

Authorities say the suspect stole two belts and a shirt from a Walmart. After he left the store, police say, he broke into Lech's house for protection and was firing at officers with a handgun. So you make it sound like they did all this over a belt. When swat made contact because he started firing off rounds in someone elses house

Guys, let's be honest. The police couldn't just leave that crazed shoplifter alone. He could do something crazy, like blow up a house!

It'd be harder to get mad about if city paid the damage but it didn't so it's bullshit.
