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

That's the best you got? "PussyHill?"

Jesus, boomer. Do better.

Army Veteran, college graduate. I know first hand the demented have something called "hysterical strength" and that dementia patients harm staff at facilities all over the world every day. Do a quick google search and enlighten yourself, lil guy.

Oh look, a forum full of doctors siding with the cop because, you know biology and science of dealing with dementia and not the boomer facade of just being bigger and stronger. That's how you die in an armed confrontation, not that you've ever been in one.

Was there not a chair or something to shove in front of the walker? You can’t sneak up behind a 95 year old woman and grab her arm? It’s not like dementia gives you retard strength or something.

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 don’t know whether she could “barely lift” the steak knife or not. The cop is not required to risk a lucky stab to his radial/ulnar arteries trying to grab her wrist and disarm her. He could tase her, maybe break her wrist with a baton, maybe even trip her and knock her down and break her hip. Either way, a 95 year old is likely to see some serious injuries as a result and we’d probably be reading the same story.

Do we now want police to use more physical methods which increase the risk of broken bones instead of tasing? Tasing was the least risky method to all involved. It’s unfortunate that she ended up dying as a result. Perhaps the nursing home shouldn’t leave steak knives around demented patients.

Go to Sonic. I'll be across the street at Krystals drinking coffee with 4 other retirees. I bet you won't come over here, you pussy.

What makes doctors authorities on use of force?

---

Nothing. What doctors do have is experience in neuro/psych rotations, having dealt with mentally ill people including those with dementia and know first hand that them being elderly and frail does not mean that they aren't dangerous.

What makes the boomers on this forum who would've just walked up to her and taken the knife authorities on use of force because they walked uphill in the snow, barefoot, both ways 50 years ago?

The officer who killed her looks like a fat baby. The stereotype of roided out ex-mil cops going around killing people is wrong. It's soy boys who freak out for no reason because they can't handle any stress.

Coming to America if Biden and the progressives get their way. Cops tazing old people with dementia.

That’s gonna be you (and me) one day

Something similar happened to me years ago, and learned a damn good lesson from it. I am a former cop and we were called to a woman with a knife call. Four of us get there and there is some old woman in her mid 80s with a large kitchen knife. We are in a living room, so with the four of us, the old woman and her daughter, who she had cut already, there wasn’t much room to move. The daughter tells us she has severe dementia and is dangerous. She was cut trying to take the knife away. Our supervisor tries to talk to the lady and get her to set it down. She ain’t having any of it, and swings the knife at him. None of us want to knock her on her arse, I.e. four cops and one little old woman, so the supervisor tries to talk to her again.

Nothing is getting through to this lady so the supervisor tries to just take the knife. She whirled her arm around like a windmill, swung the knife down and just missed his nose, barely hitting his chin, and slicing the hell out of his shirt. Thankfully he had a vest on and he didn’t get cut further than what happened to his chin. At this point things got very real and he pulled out his collapsible baton and hit her on the forearm above where she had the knife. Her arm obviously broke, as it now took a 90 degree turn.

Here is the fricked up part; she didn’t drop the knife. Her arm is broken and dangling and she doesn’t drop it. She never flinched, never cried out, nothing. She started flinging her broken arm and knife at him again. He swung again and hit her on the hand, nothing. He swung again and hit the knife and finally it came out of her hand. I stepped on it so she couldn’t pick it back up and they cuffed her. She was still trying to hit us the whole way to the car.

I would say a lot of people have never seen TRUELY crazy up close. Not the false bravado of ‘ I’m crazy fricker, don’t mess with me’, but real and true crazy. Point A to point C doesn’t go through point B with these folk. It is really something to behold.

I don’t know what happened with that cop and lady in Australia, so it is not for me to judge. Once you have seen real crazy you will never forget it. Do not underestimate what real crazy can do.
