Fifth Circuit: The Government Doesn’t Need To Pay You For The Home It Destroyed To Effect An Arrest

“By any means necessary” has been determined to be the same thing as “minimal intrusion” by far too many courts. When cops are searching for suspects, they’re pretty m…

Apparently it is a very common scenario where police don't pay for damages made during an arrest.

Also, following a discussion on this on another forum, and someone chimed in that one of their friends currently is suing the police to pay for damages and are afraid because of this ruling they will get nothing. In this case, while they were at work, police were pursuing a suspect who broke into their apartment through an open window. Police kicked down the door and fires multiple rounds of tear gas into the apartment. The police never paid for the damages. The landlord evicted the renter even though they have no relation to the suspect, was just a random act. And the landlord sued in court for the renter to foot the bill for the repair costs. Which the court ruled the renter had to pay for the damages. So the renter was now trying to sue to police to recover the costs.

Anybody starting to feel like maybe we're witnessing the first days of the actual schism of the GOP that has been teased since the proto-Tea Party days? It's not even like there's a sensible moderate candidate that they just can't solidify a majority around; they've got nothing. I don't know how House Republicans come back from this. They're taking a razor-thin majority that they barely eked out in the first place and just flushing it away. If retaking the Senate weren't seriously in play, their handling of the House combined with their slate of potential presidential nominees (including the presumptive primary winner possibly being a convicted felon before Election Day) would seem to indicate some pretty GRIM stakes for Republicans in 2024.

Edit: in a normal world, at least. In *this* world it probably all adds up to them sweeping the ballot.

Why the GOP Can’t Unite

It’s two parties under the same roof, and the only solution is a coalition — between themselves or with Democrats.
