Of course the state should reimburse the family, whether they have to by law or not (though if they don't your laws are fucking stupid). How is this even a question? They can then later charge the perpetrator if they want to. Your state is your community, and the police is its executive branch. When you destroy some individuals home while carrying out whatever duties you have, the entire community has a responsibility to reimburse that person. When your representatives fail in such ways, you either change their minds, find better representatives, or you are complicit. I'm not holding my breath though. I don't think anything will change.
