    $5K is pretty pathetic. I don't even think insurance would cover this??? Would they?

    From the outside looking in, I would say it was overly excessive; however, I wasn't there and there may be information they were privvy to that I am not. One thing to remember is, there were 3 SWAT teams from Aurora, Arapahoe SO and the GV ERT there, along with all their commanders. Douglas SO was also there with some toys. Also, it wasn't a simple shoplifting that started the event and to top it off, the suspect shot at an Aurora PD officer who is a friend.

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    If you think you are aware of the internal workings of the department, but weren't an employee there, you really don't know much then.

    +1 That pretty much goes with any profession/company/industry.

    Why wouldn't insurance cover it? It wasn't the owner's fault.

    Before you say "insurance won't cover it because it wasn't an accident, it was deliberate" - well, if a crackhead burns my house down I'm pretty sure insurance will cover that.

    If it doesn't I'm not going to sue the crackhead I'm going to sue my insurance company because what the hell am I paying premiums for if not un-anticipated catastrophic events that destroy my house?

    Whether the insurance company can then turn around and sue GVPD for indemnification (and I'm pretty sure such a suit would be barred by the doctrine of Sovereign Immunity unless it was a civil rights case) is not the homeowner's concern. He paid his premiums, now the insurance company needs to pay him.

    Because insurance companies do there best to wriggle out of any payouts.

    So why is the beef with GVPD? Ought to be with the insurance company if they are, in fact, trying to "wriggle out" of paying. But the article doesn't seem to indicate that.

    Has he even filed an insurance claim?

    Insurance policies have a specific exclusion for police action. For example, if your house gets raided and torn apart, insurance won't cover.

    Maybe he (the home owner) can get some traction because he wasn't the reason the police were there, but I don't know.
