Him having build a nicer house has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with his reasonably asking compensation for the insane amount of damage police irresponsibly did to his house (using military weapons to blowing multiple giant holes in the side of it, rendering it uninhabitable) in the pursuit of some idiot that stole a chinese made tee-shirt worth at most $7.
The police posting photos of his new house is disingenuous and irrelevant and has nothing to do with the fact that morally they should compensate him for the destroyed previous house at fair market value. That the law apparently does not require them to do so only means the law is without meaning and deserves only contempt from any rational ethical person.
