TASERED 95yr OLD DIES OF INJURIES

[teeceetx]

A 95 yr old woman with a knife is dangerous?

Dangerous to a presumably fit police officer?

I don't think so!

What the hell is WRONG with these people?

[ruthless terrier]

what the big bad cop couldn't reach out and take the knife? guess not.

Its the cop mentality and training. All they see is a weapon and then blindly proceed down the escalation of force protocol, and of course its all based on "officer safety". Most cops don't think at all.

People better stop assuming cops are there to "protect and serve" and protect your rights and the Constitution. Chances are your local cops will not skip a beat when the order comes down to confiscate your guns or food or round you up and ship you to a camp.

one wonders if any of my locals will live to tell about it.

then again, i'm in one of those 'will not enforce' states, so it will require federal intervention; they may just bomb us out of existence.

EXCELLENT QUESTION!!! Looks like the NWO pussyfication of Australians is proceeding nicely.

Remember Australia's covid response? Wildly extreme, including putting troublesome people in camps. At times they had isolation rules, go outside your house and you get sent to a camp.

And remember Australia's gun confiscation and bans.

Australia is no longer the land down under where the men are 6 ft 4 and full of muscle.

This happened in Australia. No excuse for it anywhere though.

Police said the responding officers urged Nowland to drop a serrated steak knife before she moved toward them "at a slow pace" with her walking frame, prompting one officer to fire his taser at her.

Yeah...I brought this news to TPF a few days ago. I added the other police international embarrassment...when an overly-stoned French tourist was standing...fully clothed...in the surf at Bondi Beach (near Sydney)...with a knife...20' away from the cops...threatening to commit suicide. So??? A cop shot him..."so he wouldn't harm himself."

Hey...we have a fair share of nuts, here.

"Troublesome people" were primarily those newly entering the country and put into THE HILTON in Sydney or Melbourne for two weeks...that...snuck out. My oldest boy...coming back into the country...was in one for two weeks.

If you were sequestered in your own house...AFTER you said you were positive and agreed you'd wait out your two weeks at home...yep...you were taken to a HOTEL where officials were in the hallways.

Again...with the guns. I have A B and C on my license...with C being a semi-auto Ruger 10-22. However...if you have a police record of overt violence...including domestic violence...been in the nut house...no way would you get a license. If you have 100+ acres...or permission to shoot on someone else's 100+ acres...no problem. If you live in town...you need to be in a gun club. You also need to attend a gun safety course and have either a steel cabinet too heavy to move, or bolted to masonry.

The band, 'Men At Work', were fronted by a Kiwi...where they wrote and recorded...and, yes...for the most part...you'd rue the day you picked a fight with an Aussie male........or female!!!!

Just sayin'.....

Most Australians are just as outraged at this as people around the world. The cops should never have been called. I know people with dementia can be violent and strong, but a trained nurse could have disarmed her, talked to and calmed her, and gotten her back to her room. That is what should have happened. How a 95 year old, frail woman with a walker can be so dangerous to a grown man is beyond my understanding. The Police Commissioner, has publicly refused to view the video of the attack on the woman, stating on tv that she has no intention of looking at the video. How can she make a judgement on something she refuses to view?
