36: Your House Is A SWAT Team's Rage Room

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Out of nowhere, your front door explodes. You see a man with a gun run through your door and up the stairs, firing shots at the police chasing after him. Luckily, you run for cover before a SWAT team begins their "protocol" to flush him out - explosives, toxic gasses, grenades, BearCat armored tanks, robots, and chemical weapons hit every inch of your home.

Eventually, the situation is secure. The neighborhood is safe. Police followed "all necessary protocol."

Your house? Destroyed. Your personal belongings? Melted by explosives. Your cat? Blind and deaf from the events.

And you? Hopefully financially stable. Because neither insurance nor the courts will help you. In fact, a judge says that the City police department doesn’t owe you a dime.

This is Baker v. City of McKinney (2020) (cert. denied 2024).
