Idiot Capuano: Crashes vehicle

From this story in the Hartford Courant, we learn that John Capuano, 36, of Newington led West Hartford police on a wild chase yesterday through parts of West Hartford, Farmington, and Hartford which ended in a crash on Farmington Avenue in Hartford. Besides hoping that they string him up for pistol-whipping his elderly father, and driving dangerously through three or more towns, evading police, I would like to know who pays for the damage to the West Hartford Police Cruisers as shown in the Hartford Courant snapshot?

Can anyone tell me who's obligated to pay for the damage? I hope its Capuano and not West Hartford Taxpayers. Can anyone shed light on this?
