According to coverage by The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/10/30/police-blew...

“His expenses to rebuild the house and replace all its contents cost him nearly $400,000, he said. While insurance did cover structural damage initially, his son did not have renter’s insurance and so insurance did not cover replacement of the home’s contents, and he says he is still in debt today from loans he took out.“

Sounds like his family was under-insured and he took out huge loans to rebuild without any assurances that he would be compensated by the city.

I agree that he was underinsured, but if he were properly insured, I’d expect the insurance company to sue to the police department. The police department should be self insured by the city, which then causes citizen outrage over increased taxes, which then causes politicians to reign in the out of control police force.... at least that’s how the control system should work.
