Homicide detectives in Australia are investigating why a police officer felt so threatened by a 95-year-old woman clutching a walking aid and steak knife that he needed to Taser her inside her nursing home.

Clare Nowland, a great-grandmother with dementia, is in critical condition in hospital after being tasered early Wednesday by a senior constable who had been called out to the home by care staff to reports of a resident with a knife.

Peter Cotter, NSW Police Force Assistant Commissioner, attempted to explain the officer’s actions at a news briefing on Friday, after watching video of the incident captured by two police body cameras.

“At the time she was tasered she was approaching police. It is fair to say at a slow pace. She had a walking frame. But she had a knife. I can’t take it any further as to what was going through anyone’s mind when he used the Taser,” Cotter said.

Don't they train nurses to deal with these types of incidents? It shouldn't take more than two or three people to restrain a 95-year-old with dementia and grab the knife.

The real story is how quickly this came out and without attempts at cover-up.

This story has some quite severe developments:

1. The Policeman was charged with assault.
2. A political candidate in the 2022 Federal election, Andrew Thaler, is pretending to be from the woman's family talking to the media about this woman.
3. That hoax person Andrew had a fight with the family as they were going to the hospital to grieve their dying mother.
4. The mother then died that evening.
5. The Policeman's charges will be upgraded.

Imagine if this was America, you’d still have a good contingent saying she should have obeyed.

And looking desperately for one time she shoplifted when she was 15 to justify this

One of those hilarious crank perennial candidates, and in the bellwether country of Monaro no less. AIUI he's half-crunchy half-crypto bro. A bit of a solar power obsessive too.
