I'd go to hell just to shoot the Devil in the face
This is why whenever a cop in a leftist state or country gets killed, it always puts a big old smile on my face.
The reason why there is so much incidents of police brutality all over the world is because so few people are going after them when they do these kinds of things.

The latest news I hear is that she was not 'armed' with a steak knife, it was a butter knife FFS...
Hysterical!
A cop that can't handle a 95 year old woman with a knife should never have been in that uniform. i f you are so scared that you have to tazer someone that old just step back and away she will never catch you zimmer or not.
I watched a video which may be on here and I think it was an Aussie policeman where a guy had was swinging a machete the police waited and timed to perfection when to go in and he just flipped the guy, now that's what you call a man. Not some fat fucking cowardly piece of blubber that is scared of a woman that is almost a centenarian.

Clare Nowland was found holding a serrated steak knife at the Yallambee Lodge in Cooma, with police called to the residence to help disarm her.
Police allege she was still armed with the knife when they arrived at the aged care facility.

After officers failed to get her to drop the knife, Ms Nowland was struck by a taser, causing her to fall and hit her head. She is now “in and out of consciousness”, with her family by her side in hospital.
On Friday, NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Peter Cotter stressed the investigation into the incident is being taken very seriously, but declined on multiple occasions to answer questions over whether the senior officer who discharged the taser would be charged.
“I am not the investigator, I’m not in the position to talk about whether this officer will or will not face criminal charges,” he said.
Towards the end of the press conference, Mr Cotter was asked: “What are the potential charges the officer could face?”
“I’m not going to answer that,” he responded.
Mr Cotter then thanked the journalist for raising the question, but cautioned her against continuing to ask.

Emergency services called to Yallambee Lodge
A call was made to emergency services at 4.15am on Wednesday following reports 95-year-old Claire Nowland was armed with a steak knife at Yallambee Lodge aged care home in Cooma.
“I know where you’re going with it, but in absolute fairness to everyone involved here, I’m not going to talk about this specific officer and any criminal charges,” he said.
“Let me just soften that one for you. But, please, don’t ask it again. I think I’m clear on it.”
Investigation involves homicide squad
Mr Cotter told reporters the homicide squad, along with the critical incident team, are involved in the investigation of the matter.
“What I can say is that this is a very alive and serious investigation ... which the homicide squad is investigating,” he said on Friday.
He described bodycam footage of the incident as “confronting” and said it was not in the public interest to share that video.
Officers attempted to negotiate with Ms Nowland before she started to walk towards police with the knife in hand.
Mr Cotter said she was using the aid of her walking frame and approaching officers at a “slow pace”.
It was then that the senior officer allegedly discharged his taser, causing the 95-year-old to fall to the ground and hit her head.
“She was in a room ... she did have a knife in her hand and it is fair to say that she was armed with that knife,” Mr Cotter told reporters.
What happens to the officer who discharged the taser?
Two police officers attended the aged care home after the call came in, alerting them that a 95-year-old resident was armed with the steak knife.
Cooma police station is not operational 24 hours a day, so the officers were recalled to attend the job after already completing their duties for the day.
After failing to negotiate with Ms Nowland to drop the knife, one of the officers - a senior constable - discharged his taser.
He will not be coming into work while the investigation is underway.
His “duty status” is under review by the police force.
“No officer - not one of us - is above the law,” Mr Cotter told reporters on Friday.
“All our actions will be scrutinised robustly.”
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said in a statement on Friday the matter was being treated with the “utmost seriousness”.
“My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time. I understand and share the community concerns and assure you that we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness,” she said.
Aged care home responds
The aged care centre is operated by Snowy Monaro Regional Council.
“Council are supporting our staff, residents, and families during this difficult time,” a council spokesman said.
“No further comment is available at the current time due to the ongoing investigation and out of respect for the privacy of those involved.”
Yallambee Lodge has been operating since 1995 and contains 38 permanent beds and two respite beds.
“The hostel includes beautiful gardens and open shared spaces for activities and socialising,” the council website says about the facility.

I can only imagine the fear that big beefy cop must have felt as that vicious bitch advanced towards him in her walker...

I work in the hospital and we have some pretty strong, confused, and violent 90 year old patients. We all group together and give them an IM to calm them down, but many of our staff has been punched, kicked, and bitten. Don’t let their age and “fragility” fool you. I almost got kicked once while 9 months pregnant.

Wonder who's 'Alter Ego' this is?
I've been a nurse for a long time, and I am shocked that this happened. First, what in the fuck is the staff doing all day besides watching tik tok and Jerry Springer on their phones? The knive should have never left the kitchen. Period. At a lot of places they don't have ANY sharp objects for this exact reason. Second, what in the FUCK are the police doing tasering a little old lady who was WALKING SLOWLY IN A WALKER! If she was confused why weren't the nursing staff watching her like a hawk? Because they were required to! Hitting your head is hard on anyone but it can easily be fatal in an older person..I hope she pulled through but either way that "nursing home" needs to be shuttered. They did not protect her when she needed it and the dumbest idiot cops act like they have never been through police training, by the way they acted..Our brave blue line held up for us today.
