Or maybe Pelosi knew that it was the cops and he had to open the door. Taking one hand off the hammer just long enough to reach the doorknob and let 'the calvary' in makes perfect sense to me.

Fair enough for you, and maybe for him, too. For me, knowing it was the cops, it would be both hands on the hammer and screaming for help when I wasn't biting the bastard. To each their own.

Well, since the attacker then hit Pelosi and seriously injured him when the door was opened, it wasn't a great choice. 

It may or may not have been the choice I would  have made under the circumstances. I don't know, I wasn't there. 

But, as I noted, I can see why that choice was made. Giving the cops instant access vs waiting for them to force their way in.

The cops will not kick in the door instantly. Not in that neighborhood.
The door may well have been quite strong and resistant to forced entry. Normal cops don't walk up to a door with a battering ram.

Yep.  And again, you'll probably have a different response to that than an 82 year old venture capitalist.
