I had seen the first statement by Police Chief Scott but it seemed odd because there were a bunch of other statements attributed to him that weren’t part of the original statement. It turns out that the Chief made a second statement....
What I find interesting about this one are these points...
- He didn’t actually confirm that there was a 3rd person who opened the door.... he strongly alluded to it by saying that when the door was opened, the officers saw Pelosi and ‘Dave’ both with their hands on one hammer.
- The Chief at the 2 min. mark doubled down on this being a forced entry and ‘Dave’ came in through the rear patio door.
- He was asked about how many times Pelosi was struck... said he didn’t know but at least once.
- Twice he said that they know that this was intentional... and by that, I’m assuming that to be synonymous with ‘targeted’.
- He said that the ‘suspect’ was in the hospital and he didn’t say how long he thought he’d be there.
The Chief looked very nervous, emotional and only took a few questions. My impression was that he seemed nervous because he had been sent out to give a specific message... and looked to be hesitant and worried that he was going to mess it up.
Forever.
