Police have refused to say if the officer who tasered a 95-year-old woman in an incident that left her fighting for life will be charged.
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.
The incident occurred at Yallambee Lodge.
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.
It is a 40 bed aged care facility with 38 permanent beds and 2 respite beds.
“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.

Mr Cotter said she was using the aid of her walking frame and approaching officers at a “slow pace”.

Like those American pigs who shot the disabled guy from the back in his wheelchair. I didn't thick Ozi cops where utter cunts like American ones. Then again they where very heavy handed during Covid, I watched a vid of them slamming a guy onto a marble floor landing on his head because he didn't have a mask on.

 

[rottenfresh]

It's just a fucking knife. A cop couldn't get a knife from a 95 yo without tasing her? Hand in your fucking badge punkass .

 

[Ellzibette]

That lady might have known Tae Kwan Do.....you never know.

 

[cannedkittens]

You can die by pretty much by anyone swinging a knife if they get the right vein. What people don’t understand is that just like yourself, cops are not going to put their lives at risk for a complete stranger. Whatever slight risk it might be, I wouldn’t take it either. Especially when it happens on a regular occurrence. I’m not a cop lover, but I do try to think logically about these incidents. Fuck the BLM cowards who have no idea what it’s like to use a tactical approach and all they do is run their lip.

That's pretty shitty of that cop. I'm no bad ass but I'm sure I could have taken that knife away without the use of anything but my hands. It was a fucking steak knife!! Cops wear mechanics gloves he could have grabbed the damn blade and ripped it right out of her hand without getting a cut at all.. fucking pussy. Taze an old white lady cuz your anger is all pent up from having to put "kid gloves "on while handling adult n!ggers.

 

[djdeeds]

Old people of that age are frail as fuck and their bones are like chalk. They have the strength of a baby. Needing to taze her is absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe nursing staff couldn't grab her from behind - most likely got caught up in a bit of drama in their boring work environment so called cops for a little excitement ... well they got it !

 

[Skull81]

So if it's supposed to be good police work, there shouldn't be any frail grannies lying on the ground and being yelled at. My opinion!

 

[Tooly]

Fair suck of the sauce bottle mate, she was coming at the cops at a fair rate of knots in that walker thingy of hers. She might have crashed into the walls and brought the whole building down, fer fucks sake! Cops did a sterling job in protecting the community!

 

[pebkam]

Australia - THE nanny state where they still officially suck british royal cock.

 

[Dr Deacon]

NSW police social media is full of things like rainbows and diversity. Tells you all you need to know about an organisation infested with so much woke faggotry. Hope the officer concerned develops an incurable brain tumour.

 

[wiggins]

Australia - THE nanny state where they still officially suck british royal cock.

We actually unofficially suck British Royal Cock.

We officially suck abo cock... and lots of the horrible stuff.

Our national broadcaster, ABC, stands for ABoriginal Cock, actually...

"Shots fired!"

Vicious knife wielding bitch!

"Put down the knife! She's got a knife! Get back guys, slowly, you don't want her walker on you!"

 

[Lovdatchiggin]

An aged care home that can't deal with a 95 year old woman with a knife?

They're the pros.

Meanwhile, caregivers at home contend with this, and more.

If people at home broke out the tazers, we'd be in prison.

An aged care home. That's rich.

Nice reporting Wiggins. Saw this story on CNN but your correspondence is much more through

Nice reporting Wiggins. Saw this story on CNN but your correspondence is much more through

The poor cop who had to front the media, the guy in the pics above, he had to say, and I quote here, "She was advancing with her walker, but she did have a steak knife..."

You could see by his facial expressions he was just going through the motions.

The news last night said, as the cop said 'advancing' "but not very fast" 'with her walker'

Hilarious!

Mind you, they are all doing 'training' now to allow them to better disarm the over 90's...

If it was me I'd have offered her an ice cream or a chair to sit down on and waited until she went to sleep and then got the knife.

If I was in a hurray I'd have just gently got her knife hand and prised the knife out of it. I doubt I'd have been even scratched...

Still, better discharge all 9 rounds of 9mm as knife attackers have been known to just keep on coming...

God damn Lilly livered coward cops. What the fuck could they have been even thinking? demented too! Crazy man...

Stand behind me son and I'll sort the granny out... with my hand...

Yes, swinging knives are bad news but when swung by a 95 year old it ain't gonna have much swing...

That the nursing staff could not sort this out is due to an over reliance on HR rules rather than common sense.

While in general I do agree with this, my son is a cop, someone probably could have knocked that old lady over with a pillow.
