1. Individually involved officers? That’s not acceptable. Require each officer to carry a form of duty insurance, like doctors malpractice? Except officers don’t earn $$$$.
2. Police department? Well actually that’s you & me via the taxes. From police dept budgets? Now we are hampering our own public safety.
3. Homeowners insurance?

Consider it a form of vandalism and file your claim. Getting your deductible covered is no small matter with the cost of homes nowadays.
Yes, the police department/town should pay. And that means the taxpayers. And then they get angry about their money being wasted, go to the polls, and boot out the politicians who set up the system which led to that massive overuse of force. That's how it SHOULD work, in a society where the citizenry has a say about how things are operated. OR, do we just suck it up, doff our caps to our "betters", and say that whatever the elites dish out, well that's just how it is? I don't think the Founding Fathers would like that very much.
Agreed. To add to it, the people who did the damage are the ones who pay. No, not the perp. Not the insurance company. Not the homeowner. They're not the ones blowing holes in walls and turning the residence into a recreation of Baghdad. The police did it. Plain and simple. Their choice. Their actions. Their responsibility. They could have very well not done it at all and faced different repercussions. But they went the nuclear route instead and should pay dearly.
