Extremely unlikely. Insurance likely has blanket prohibitions on coverage caused by interactions with police. Fault isn't relevant.

im sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the law and rights you once knew are no longer at play today

To be successful, the govt would have to investigate themselves and find wrongdoing. In which case, it wouldn't be the victim's insurance paying out, it would be the taxpayer.

Even if she's found completely innocent of any wrongdoing, if the govt says the officers did as they were trained, then she's probably on her own for repairs.
