A 95-year-old great-grandmother died Wednesday a week after being tasered by an Australian police officer inside her nursing home, police said. The woman, Clare Nowland, "passed away peacefully in hospital just after 7pm this evening, surrounded by family and loved ones," New South Wales state police said in a statement.
An Australian policeman was charged with three counts of assault Wednesday over the tasering of Nowland, who suffered from dementia.

They tased her because she was holding a steak knife. When she started moving towards them, USING HER WALKER, they fired the taser.
What a bunch of pussies.

Knowing Australia I figured she just hasn’t had all her covid boosters and the police teased her as a precaution.

Yeah, must Not have been wearing her mask.

I hate cops and from the sound of it, I'd have a really hard time voting against the cop on a jury.
Demented woman armed with serrated knife. That's about where it ends for me. Don't care she had a walker, didn't weigh 100 lbs. and she's 95. The knife cuts the same.
As a cop in that situation you not only have to protect yourself but others in the home. If he had shot her, then yeah, that's overboard. But he simply tased her which IMO is reasonable.

I’ll store this one away as a preferred way to end it all if I reach age 95 and have dementia. In fact I’m adding it to my final requests.

This actually happened a couple of weeks ago, the poor lady had been in the hospital since.
Those cops need to be drawn and quartered.

Not one of the cop haters here have ever been faced with someone holding a knife that they needed to disarm. Even a 95 year old with a walker can get in a lucky slash or stab. I don’t know whether this cop was too hasty or not, but you can’t just let a demented person walk around other people waving a knife. The situation has to end quickly and a taser is the safest way to disarm them.
Is no one going to ask why a demented person was allowed a steak knife at a nursing home?

Because she is 95 and can probably barely lift said steak knife. There were definitely easier ways to subdue a 95 y/o woman.

You trolling, right??? A 95 yr. old woman with a walker carrying a serrated knife and you think it's justified to even tase her.
How hard would it be for an able bodied man to stay out of harms way in this situation until he could step in and disarm the woman. Especially if wearing body armor like most cops use when on duty in today's environment.
I'm 70 and have relatives in that kind of shape being physically impaired and I'm damn sure I could manage to not get stabbed if in the same situation. But I wasn't raised to be a "soy boy", so there's that.

Queue the "mAnLy mAn" types that would call the cops if they saw a black person walking down the street.
Cops don't wear body armor on their arms, neck, head, or legs either, you complete frickwit. So get bent with your "bUt mUh BoDy ArMor." All it takes is a lucky stab or slash.
Neither of you two pussies have probably ever been in a confrontation with a weapon in your lives. frick off.

Take it from her! There is no justification for this.

Novel approach to limiting the amount of resources spent on aged-out citizenry.
Taze folks once every year to see if they can recover.
Kind of a twist on “Hunger Games”.

You don't know me from Adam, so your blanket assumptions about what I'd do in certain situations is meaningless.
You also have no clue as to what I've done and seen in my lifetime, so your post is totally irrelevant.

I don't have to know you from shite. What I do know is that you're a dimwit who just claimed that the cop should've disarmed her because he was wearing body armor, missing the context of your own point because body armor doesn't cover extremities, head, or neck. You're a retard my dude.

This guy claims he's an army veteran and still scared of a 95 year old demented granny.
