> Do police pay for damages in cases where a raid is excessive force?

As one example, this happened near me last year: http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/paramilitary-thugs-colorado-...

In fact, the whole story is a great representation of the concerns expressed in your comment - the PD literally blew up a house to catch a suspected shop lifter.

Edit: Looks like PD offered him $5,000 after the incident, and then he had to take them to federal court. Looks like the court proceedings are still going; how utterly insulting.
