A GA county is refusing to pay for medical treatment for a baby who was badly injured during a botched SWAT raid on a home.

On May 28th, a SWAT team executed a raid on a home where a confidential informant (a criminal who trades information for a reduced sentence) told them he bought drugs. The CI said there were no children in the home.

They ought to take it out of the police retirement fund. Only making it financially painful to the idiots will make them stop and think.

Reminds me of an inciden about 15 years ago in Nashville where a couple from Oregon was walking on a sidewalk when a transformer literally exploded underneath them. They were both burned very badly and required months of hospital care. The city of Nashville had passed a law limiting their liability to $100k per event even though the medical bill was over $1 million.

An injured child is instantly eligible for Medicaid if the parents cannot afford to pay.

What is the relationship between the County and the SWAT team?

Where they County employees?

I will guess that the city of Nashville did not make or own or operate or maintain or sell electricity from the transformer.

Nashville has some liability since it is their sidewalk.

But full liability falls elsewhere, presumably on the power company and the manufacturer.

There was never any doubt about responsibility. Even the Nashville Electric Service admitted responsibility but by law was on the hook for only $100k.
