The city is gambling that she won't bother to sue, or is hoping to out-lawyer her. I don't know all the facts, but perhaps a case could be made that the tear gas was beyond the scope of what needed to be done, and the damage didn't have to happen. If the tear gas is deemed necessary, she should get it from her insurance. I wonder what the clause is that they point to in order to duck responsibility on this.

I saw a car door panel at Fort Ebay a few days ago, I don't know if that was just regular junk though. Something like that probably would disintegrate en route. It will be interesting to see what survives the trip, and a sad reminder.
