A 95-year-old woman who was Tasered by police at an Australian care home, sparking a public outcry, has died.
Clare Nowland was critically injured after police responded to reports she was wandering around the home with a steak knife at about 04:00 last Wednesday.
New South Wales Police (NSW) said she died "surrounded by family and loved ones".

Such brave police.
And in front of BLM looters and arsonists...they take a knee.
With a walker she must have been approaching 0.5 mph.
At that speed, there’s barely time to react.
They could’ve disarmed her easily w/out using deadly force, if they wanted to.
She was using a walker, just go behind her. She had to be awfully frail…
I remember when The Walker Brigade was sent into battle in World War II
I see a career change in your future, punk.
The Aussies gave up their guns and allowed their police to become an unregulated domestic terrorist group during Covid.
Yes,but they were all killed in their first battle. Stupid idea.
It should have worked!
O.K., now if we could capture the world’s funniest joke and give just one word to each man.......
On a serious note, this actual story is so ridiculous - pathetic that not even one guy can handle a 95 year old woman in a walker.
Australia. Was she violating a Covid lockdown order? Refusing to be vaccinated? Going maskless?
It’s worth noting that the police have not yet released video of the incident. I guess they need more time to “lose” it.
What a shocking story.
Granny going the speed of light. It takes both hands to move a walker, so which hand was going to use the knife?
A 95 year old woman with a steak knife. A serious danger!
Bullying cowards who are incapable of disarming a 95 year old woman. These cops are beneath contempt.
Sad. RIP.
Update here: (charges of “recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault” need to be upgraded to manslaughter/murder 3”, or whatever is similar in Australia now that she has died)
A timely reminder that the police are not your friends.
