He shoplifted.
Then ran into this uninvolved house.
You still don’t need to destroy the house to get the badguy.
You know where he is, you localize any damage to there.
No need to “Burn the house to kill the spider”.
You left out where he shit at the cops.
He broke into the house, pulled a gun on a child in the house, then started shooting at the police when they arrived. You can criticize the damage to the house, but calling him a shoplifter is pure BS.
Seriously, this was Sheriff Will Teasle, sending the National Guard after John Rambo for vagrancy.
