My argument is that it was the police firing 40mm rounds blindly into the house, using shaped charges, using battering rams for a single suspect with limited ammunition is completely unreasonable. I've seen police safely breach in more dangerous situations. They could have done a number of things before making the house unliveable and should have been expected to be trained in those options. The town should be paying because their actions caused the house to be unlivable and function as essentially eminent domain of the house. The police did far worse damage and put that more people at risk than this person did though their actions.

Also he attempted to kill police officers. It's unlikely he'll get it of jail any time before retirement.
