Question. I am not from the US so I have very little knowledge of this that I have gathered from a few posts I skimmed through around here and reddit.
As I understand it, the 'counter-narrative' is that the assault was the result of some sex games gone wrong. Is that correct? If that is the case - why do people care so much about this? If an 82 year old couple is able to maintain a flourishing kinky sex life with other consenting adults, isn't that a very positive thing? And, since this such a private matter, so what if they don't want the public to know?
I agree that having the police officially help them perpetuate a lie is not a good thing - but, at the same time, why do people feel so entitled to their sex lives? Why should these guys be forced to release such a personal video of a violent assault on them in their own property - regardless of whether this was an invited friend or an outside invader? The whole thing is so weird to me. The poor guys definitely had an awful time!

It is not about his sex life.
The problem is they have put out this story blaming the attack on Nancy's political opponents. Those attacks have been undertaken by Nancy, Biden, a bunch of their political allies and the corrupt media.
In America it is standard operating procedure to release police body cam, 911 call recordings, etc to protect the public from police wrong doing. They have refused to release them.
The story they have told is ever changing and has a bunch of inconsistencies that do not add up. The police body can and 911 recordings would clarify those inconsistencies.
Finally you have what appears to be a mentally challenged individuals charged with an array of very serious crimes. To make sure they are justified and proven, this information needs to be released. It would hardly be justice to have the authorities bully a mentally challenged individual in order to effect a cover up.

Thank you!
I have replied to Masterofballs below as he also provided some of the context, and thank you for providing some more. It makes perfect sense, and I do think that it is very reasonable to expect more concrete evidence to be released.

Do you mind if I ask which country you are from? The Lemmy community might be small, but it is global.
