95-year-old woman using walking frame tasered by police at care home in Australia

Clare Nowland, who was holding a steak knife at the time, is in a critical condition in hospital and drifting in and out of consciousness.

These geriatrics think that they can get away with anything. The smack of firm policing has shown her that isnt the case. Lets hope that she learns from this and doesnt cause the authorities any more problems.

Very unfortunate, but when you fail to comply with police orders you get what you get

What impresses me the most about this is the great courage it must have taken for the cop to taze the dementia patient. He saved many lives that day and deserves the Australian National Medal of Honor and a bonus from this department head. I just wish he would have kicked her in the head a couple of times and punched her in the gut. These old terrorists need to have a lesson taught.

The article is vague as it doesn't say why the officer used the Taser. I think the cop fucked up.

I think he would have been better advised in kneeling on her neck for half an hour. I applaud your concern for his wellbeing. I hope that he is receiving the appropriate support.

She was crabbing towards him with a knife in her hand. She had to be taken out.

You should watch the documentary "Killing Them Safely"

Axon says their product is non lethal. I think they are less lethal, but not always.

The officer must have been afraid she would kick his ass

She could have died... if this woman has a son or grandsons alive they should pay a visit to that cowardly cop.....

She would have presented a fearful sight for an isolated officer.. Luckily he acted professionally and tazered her in a legal and compassionate way.

Axon revised the training with their product. Do not aim for the chest, which in this case is probably what happened.

It is not so much the knife but those walkers can be deadly in the right hands

She had dementia. Are you telling me that these cops couldn't handle a frail old woman without a fucking taser>?

My son is a pokice officer and has just had tazer training. He cant wait for some old dear to get uppity with him so he can try it out.

They are very easily manipulated.

We sometimes forget how dangerous modern policing can be.

Was he tazed himself in training? If not, he should. Gives a whole different perspective to be on the receiving end.
