Cops destroyed man's house with explosives to flush out hiding shoplifter, offered $5,000 in compensation

I’ve already suggested Wikipedia, which does indeed have a good breakdown- so if you’re too lazy to even look there, I can’t help you.

hmm. The 5th amendment “takings” argument might well be their strongest, but the attorneys don’t seem particularly keen on narrow victories. Might explain the involvement of Western Journalism Center. Can you imagine tax law after such a favorable ruling?

An uncharitable observer might suspect that these cops lack the patience to avoid getting bored and frustrated before their target does.

Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. I was unable to locate any supreme court decision that said the restrictions placed upon governmental power by the bill of rights can be sidestepped by the concept of sovereign immunity. But then I’m no legal researcher. All I can do is look at your claim, see if I can find supporting information and when I can’t and when you refuse to provide such evidence to support your claim, I’m left only with the option to dismiss your claim as being without merit.
