The video shows police entering the home and shouting "Drop the hammer" as Paul and the suspect, David DePape, struggle over a hammer. DePape has been charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and elder abuse and has pleaded not guilty. Nancy Pelosi has expressed her gratitude for the police officers and relief that her husband is safe. The release of the video has sparked a debate over the use of body cameras by police officers.
