The only thing that talks is money. Sue the town into bankruptcy, and other towns will take notice. So sad that the Constitutional liberties so many fought and died for are carelessly trampled on.
Perhaps this is an emotional reaction, but the frequency and savagery of these stories is making me consider arguments legalizing drugs. I wonder if the “cure” is becoming worse than the disease.
Especially so perhaps because the “cure” doesn’t work. We have had nearly 50 years of the WOD and people are still getting high.
Sorry, but this isn't the answer. Those in charge and even many voters have the attitude that "insurance will pay," and don't make the connection between insurance payouts and the premium levels rising.
The only way this will stop is when liability is assigned personally to those responsible. I don't want public employees afraid to do their job, but if there's negligence, it has to go onto the negligent, not the municipality in general. IMO.

What would really happen, is that insurance companies wouldn’t write policies for cities with SWAT teams.
“The only thing that talks is money....”
While I am not the type of person who yells SUE THEM, SUE THEM... you are right that this is the case for the family to SUE THEM. If the town has to write a big, fat check then they will change how the police go about knocking down a door and terrorizing an innocent family. Suing simply causes policy change and this case screams for policy change. Just a thought.
