   Honestly? He should be charged for aiding and abetting. The house clearly wasn't secure, allowing criminals easy access to fortify it in the event of a police standoff. His negligence should be punished - the half a million dollars in property damage was not enough. All the windows should have been barred and the doors should have been reinforced. Anything less is practically an invitation to would-be shoplifters-cum-gunmen.

   Also: who the fuck engages in a 19 hour armed police standoff over shoplifting charges? Just go to jail for a little bit.

   I just heard about this on the radio this AM. They also said Goodluck trying to get paid if a cop or ambulance hits you in a car wreck. Guess they won’t pay out then either.
   
   They must just figure insurance will cover it. Not saying that makes it right. I absolutely believe the cops should have insurance for pay outs when this shit happens.

   There's a 97.5% chance no one was even in the house. That's how useless and stupid they really are.

   I assume they were 40mm tear gas/flashbang grenades but the way they wrote it makes it sound like they hit the house with a howitzer or something

   
   I'm not knowledgeable about guns but I thought that was a misprint and they meant .40cal

    Spacers Choice reminds you that all domiciles and the contents living inside them are the property of Spacers Choice and that dying during a police standoff is a health code violation subject to a fine to be paid by your next of kin
    
    Failure to pay this fine could result in a police standoff

    Oh yeah I forgot about pistols
    
    I almost bought a .40 sw because 9mm doesn't feel right, I like high recoil
