Imagine your home being destroyed by a SWAT team while they pursue a fugitive—and then being told you have to cover the costs yourself. For Vicki Baker, this wasn’t just her house—it was her retirement fund. The money from selling it was supposed to secure her future. Instead, she’s left with tens of thousands of dollars in damages that wiped out her savings. To make things worse, a renter was living there at the time, and their dog—now blind and deaf—was harmed by the tear gas used during the raid. Last week, the #SupremeCourt declined to hear Vicki’s case, leaving her to fight for justice under the Texas Constitution. No one should lose everything for the “public good” and be left with the bill. Accountability matters. Do you think the government should pay for damages in cases like this?
