In that article, they report, I quote “… compensate a homeowner whose house was destroyed by 19 hours of gunfire between officers and an armed shoplifting suspect who had chosen to barricade himself inside to evade arrest.”
My question is: Why is that SWAT’s problem if the armed shoplifter caused the problem in the first instance?
The shoplifter should be held responsible for the resultant damages caused by his deliberate actions.He could have averted that by getting out before the shooting started, not so?
