The rhetoric of the day around protests has been, property is irrelevant and lives matter. Aside from the dog, the police didn't kill anyone, this time. The rhetoric also says insurance will cover it.
That was a lie.
In this case and in many of the victims of last year's unrest people are finding insurance doesn't cover it. Ethically the city would cover the actions of the officers and the voters and taxpayers would consider that in the next election cycle. If the incumbents win, the people have spoken that the actions are valid. Currently qualified immunity has given a wide path for police to rush in and worry later.
Sadly a dog got hurt, in other cases it has been a flashbang in a crib mutilating a minor. Elections show the will of the people.
