And there is one word in particular that gets people to react.
– the curse.
Knowland died in hospital on Wednesday, a week after an Australian police officer shot her with a Taser.
Police were called to the nursing home, where the 95-year-old was staying, after reports emerged that she had been given a steak knife.
Nowland suffered from dementia, and walked with a walker. After the incident, the police said that they moved towards the police at a “slow speed”, which would have serious consequences.
according to The Daily Telegraph The other police officer at the scene is said to have told his female colleague that she “could take the knife from her”.
“No, screw it up,” the policeman is said to have said, before firing the stun gun, according to the paper.
The 95-year-old was hit twice with an electric shock weapon, before she fell and fractured her skull. She was taken to the hospital, where she died.
