Release the 9-11 Tape Already.

Openness and transparency, Police Chief.  What have you learned in the past two years? 

 Scott confirmed that Pelosi had called 911 from inside the house, but added that they were not releasing that call at this point in this investigation.

“Elected officials have a hard enough job as it is,” Scott added, criticizing how politicians’ families were being put at risk. “It’s wrong, and it needs to stop…these families aren’t in office, and even if they were, nobody deserves to have a violent assault and attack because they’re doing their jobs.”

“We can all disagree,” said Scott but “we need some civility here.” He called the conspiracy theories “pathetic” and “disturbing” and asked rhetorically what it would take to get people to stop promoting such “nonsense” 

The facts and questions aren't going away.  (How did the assailant get to the Pelosi mansion? Where are his pants?  Who is "David" and was Mr. Pelosi coherent when he was taken away and gave information to responding officers?

Truth is what is going to get people to stop promoting such nonsense.  The body cameras and 9-11 tapes need to be made public.  Just like in any other police investigation of late.  Sooner rather than later.

(Remember what it cost Rahm Emmanuel after he allegedly refused to watch the LaQuan McDonald case but approved the settlement after insisting he had not seen the video?  If Rahm couldn't pull that trick off -- keeping things quiet with the police in Chicago -- what makes the Pelosi's think they can bury the evidence here and rely on "unnamed sources" and the rumor mill to tell the story?

Release the 9-11 tape and the body cam video, for starters.  If it is what they say, it will put the country at ease that this is just a California crime problem, that even the wealthy cannot protect themselves in their homes out there anymore.
