Re: Straya!
All of 157 cm (5' 2"), armed with a zimmer frame and a steak knife? The obvious response is to zap that dangerous attacker. Twice. So glad the police involved have safely returned home to their families after being confronted with such a hazardous situation.

'Outcry as Australian police Taser 95-year-old care home resident'
Edit: Just saw this in the 'no article' thread.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.
Family friend Andrew Thaler claimed Ms Nowland was struck twice - in the chest and the back - before she fell, suffering a fractured skull and a serious brain bleed.

Re: Straya!
That's very funny. But why does the person call Australia a state?
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Straya!
Probably because it's a bit of a state.

Yeah. Like getting home very late, busting for a piss, so you're dancing up and down at the door but you can't find your keys.

An elderly great-grandmother tasered by police during an incident at a Cooma nursing home last week has died.
NSW Police confirmed Clare Nowland, 95, died "peacefully" in hospital just after 7pm on Wednesday, surrounded by family and loved ones.
Mrs Nowland, who had dementia, was hospitalised in a critical condition after falling and fracturing her skull during the confrontation with officers at Yallambee Lodge on May 17.
Police previously said they had been called to the facility and found Mrs Nowland holding a serrated steak knife and using a walking frame before the taser was deployed.
Senior Constable Kristian White, 33, was charged earlier on Wednesday evening with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and common assault.
He is suspended from duty on full pay and is due to appear in court on July 5.
