Summary

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Out of nowhere, your front door explodes. You see a man with a gun run through your door and up the stairs, firing shots at the police chasing after him. Luckily, you run for cover before a SWAT team begins their "protocol" to flush him out - explosives, toxic gasses, grenades, BearCat armored tanks, robots, and chemical weapons hit every inch of your home. Eventually, the situation is secure. The neighborhood is safe. Police followed "all necessary protocol." Your house? Destroyed. Your personal belongings? Melted by explosives. Your cat? Blind and deaf from the events. And you? Hopefully financially stable. Because neither insurance nor the courts will help you. In fact, a judge says that the City police department doesn’t owe you a dime. This is Baker v. City of McKinney (2020) (cert. denied 2024). Follow @RebuttalPod on Instagram and Twitter!

0:00.0	Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the rebuttal podcast where we break down case law, calamity,
0:04.9	and of course, chaos in the legal field. I am once again your host, Rep. Maisel. And today's
0:10.5	episode is a great one. It's an exciting one. Not exciting because we're having a yay moment, right,
0:19.9	with an outcome of a case. We rarely do, honestly, right? It's exciting
0:24.8	because it's going to just really gaffa you, really make you clutch your pearls, really make you
0:32.8	say, wait, really, for real, and I'm going to have to say yes, yes yes for real um and that's why we love the law
0:39.8	we love it and hate it we love to hate it I will say it's my entire job my entire profession
0:45.1	that I chose how are y'all doing how are the holidays amazing perfect gorgeous I hope so
0:51.1	I hope all of you are safe and sound. If the holiday season is one filled with
0:56.3	family and loved ones and happiness, then I'm so happy for you and I'm with you. I want that
1:05.6	for me as well. If, on the other hand, the holidays are not so happy, not so filled with glee and joy, maybe because you don't have family or loved ones that you spend it with, maybe because it marks the anniversary of a date you like to not remember, whether it be the time someone passed,
1:29.4	whether it be a divorce, whether it be some other tragedy in your life you would like to
1:35.9	get away from. And unfortunately, anytime something in life hits you hard in a bad way, in very poor way around the holidays it's hard to not
1:48.5	be reminded of it every time they come around when you look outside and see trees and lights
1:53.8	and christmas and hanaica and you know really just winter and jolly cheer, Christmas, etc., it's hard to not relate that or equate that to the horrible thing that you would like to not dwell on.
2:11.4	This is not something that I have experienced personally, but I know people and I love people who have. And I don't think
2:21.3	it's talked about too much. And if you are one of those people, I just want to say that I'm
2:28.0	thinking of you and I'm holding your hand through my screen, through your headphones,
2:32.8	through your speaker. And I hope that you're turning to this podcast as a way to escape that.
2:38.7	And I hope that we can escape together.
2:42.8	I promise you this, this is enough of an escape.
2:48.1	It's not sad.
