Watch the video again. A relatively frail man in his 80"s is being held by a much younger man who outweighs him and is clearly stronger than him Do you think that he could have successfully run away?
Don't think what you would have done. You have to get into the head of man that is quite a bit older than you.

I watched the video several times. Pelosi had no worries or complaints until the guy raised the hammer. When the door was open and the cops were their, he could have ran toward them or asked for help. He did neither. Plus the guy didnt even have ahold of him.

Did I say he's ill? Did I suggest such a thing? No. I didn't. Read my post again.

Was he supposed to act in a certain way that you think he should have to meet your approval?

Knowing those buzzwords and phrases is something I need to know to help keep me safe and give me a guide on who to avoid.

I would think he would act at least that he was in danger with a strange man breaking into this house. But that's only logical.
If someone broke into my house and they held me at hammer point...when the cops showed up within a few feet, I think I would go toward them.

That's you. Not everyone is you. Some of us are better at staying calm than others, some good at at-least appearing calm on the outside.
I am very sorry for Mr. Pelosi. For what he went through.
It seems very strange to me that he was just wearing a shirt, boxers and he was holding a glass (of water I presume) in his hands, while waiting for the cops.

Where do people get this idea that people must behave as expected or it's questionable?

If someone breaks in my house and I'll wearing is my sleep tank and panty I'm not going to be worried about clothes. Even if I'm naked, survival takes precedence over clothing. I'll just have to wait till the cops or whoever shows up and it's safe to leave the attacker outside of my view.
Is it normal that the cops didn't prevent that guy from hitting Mr. Pelosi's head?
Are they good cops, in your opinion?

There is and it would be bad practice to use descriptive language when you just as well could use the original. It's like we often demand links to the original study when someone post pop science magazine articles.
The real question is why they decided to touch on this at all. There are a lot more stories on the cutting floor than what reaches the audience. Probably something worthwhile to send instead of of this.

The cops were too far away to stop him. Did you see the video?

Well the release of the 911 tape and the police visit came out, so of course that brought attention back to it. And then the crazy man came out with his diatribe.
After listening to it I am glad that it is not just in the hands of FOX News and the like. It refutes the people that are trying to claim that it was a tryst gone wrong.
The cops had guns

Why didn't Pelosi run toward the cops? They were just feet away.

Guns can miss. And right next to the bad guy was someone that they didn't want to kill. Guns are not magic.

This was already explained to you. Or was that someone else?
Nope, I see that was you. You did not get it and made a bogus excuse.

Tell me again. The cops were just a few feet away from Paul so why didn't he run to the police.
Was it because he was held at hammer point?
But wait... The guy only swung the hammer when the cop told him to put it down. What happened before the cops get there? Why wasn't Paul beat before the cops get there?
