'I thought I was going to be stabbed': Police officer tells court of failed attempts to disarm 95yo
www.abc.net.au
A NSW police officer tells a jury she attempted twice to grab a knife out of Clare Nowland's hands in the moments before the aged care resident was tasered by her colleague Senior Constable Kristian White.

Day 4 of trial of Kristian White who definitely didn’t straight up murder a 95 year old woman armed with a walker and a fruit knife.

Sure looks like the sort of life-or-death scenario that possibly justifies deploying a torture device from that cctv footage.

    Yeah, but we have to assume that a person wielding a knife can instantly stab you from 100 yards away, because uhh… I can’t walk backwards?
