Homeowner To Police: ‘You’ve Destroyed A Family’s Life’

[Jesus Malverde]

The man whose home was destroyed during a standoff with police believes officers took extreme measures when they tried to capture the suspect.

“This is a para-military action, done by para-military thugs. This is not a police force,” said homeowner Leo Lech. “To blow holes in every side of this house for one suspect with a handgun.”

Robert Seacat was holed up in the Greenwood Village home for nearly 19 hours before officers were able to take him into custody on Thursday.

2. looks like a war zone

from the article...

Lech does not agree with police tactics used that included a robot, explosives and a breaching ram that punctured exterior walls.

4. He was probably reaching in his wasteband and the robot felt threatened.

8. better read your homeowners policy

and check for "incompetent government action"

9. The insurance company did report back that they will cover the structure.

But the son did not have renters insurance for the belongings. In the case of the structure, I'm sure the insurance company chose not to pursue all possible exclusions as they would have gotten extreme bad press from such an action.
