Tasering is not unheard of in Australia, but it is usually on Indiginous aboriginal people. However, this is practically the first time that officers have used a stunner on a granny. Social media has exploded with outrage after Australian police used a taser electroshock weapon on a 95-year-old woman suffering from dementia. The incident took place in a nursing home as officers were called to deal with a woman with a walking frame who carried a steak knife. After asking her to put away the blade, they tasered her. The old lady fell and was critically injured – now she is receiving end-of-life care. Netizens were shocked by the event, slamming Australian police for their cowardice and unprofessional skills. Meanwhile , it has made global headlines as an act of “utter generacy.”
