Police Tase 95-Year-Old Woman With Dementia in Australian Nursing Home

A 95-year-old woman with dementia was shocked with a stun gun by police in an Australian nursing home.
The woman was carrying a steak knife and struck her head on the floor after being shocked.
The police officer who fired the stun gun is currently "not in the workplace," but it is unclear whether the officer was suspended.
The woman, Clare Nowland, made headlines in 2008 when she went skydiving to celebrate her 80th birthday.
The incident has prompted a high-level police internal investigation and sparked debate about police use of stun guns.
