> So if a shooter sets up in a sufficiently expensive property, the police have to sit there passively and risk being shot because they don't have the money to pay for the damage caused by going in? That makes no sense.

No, you let the police do what they need to do AND you have them pay the homeowner for damages. The government should have some sort of insurance for this.

It’s called the power to collect taxes. And print money if it’s the federal government.

considering property tax is proportional to the value of the property, it shouldn't be too hard for them to make this work...

Yup, we (the people) will pay to repair/replace all the police equipment damaged in the act of protecting citizens. We should also pay for all damage caused to the property of private citizen's during that same act. It seems insane to pay for half of the damage and not the other.
