95 year old woman with dementia using a walking frame in a care home and they had to taser her what the fuck is this ????


"An elderly Australian woman with dementia is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after being Tasered by police at a care home.

Officers were called to Yallambee Lodge in Cooma, New South Wales (NSW), after reports that 95-year-old Clare Nowland was carrying a knife.

The early morning incident has sparked outcry, over what advocates say was a disproportionate response.

The New South Wales police chief has said an investigation is under way.

Ms Nowland was found "armed" with a steak knife at the care home - which is in the town of Cooma about 114km (71 miles) south of Canberra - in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Assistant Police Commissioner Peter Cotter told media on Friday.

Two officers and care home staff tried to de-escalate the situation, before she began approaching police - "it is fair to say at a slow pace" - and was Tasered.

"She had a walking frame. But she had a knife," he said."

The cops need to be charged with attempted man slaughter there is no justification for tazering a woman of her age and physical condition who has dementia.
