Is it bad that I read this and immediately think “my God it’s mid September and the Australian cops have only murdered two civilians this year?”
I think the US hits that number within 5 minutes past midnight on the New Year.

Better ban bean bag guns and tasers completely.
Yeah, better just use firearms…

I give it 1 hour before they net somebody in or into water and they drown.
Predator style
You so realize a net is way bigger, heavier and more dangerous for the officer to use than a tazer?
It’s true
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A 47-year-old woman has died after being tasered by police in New South Wales in the second deadly incident so far this year involving the weapon in Australia.
Specialist negotiators were called to the scene in Stockton, in the city of Newcastle, before officers entered the apartment some nine hours later, police said.
Clare Nowland, a great-grandmother with dementia, died in May one week after being tasered by senior constable Kristian White.
Police were called to Nowland’s care home in the town of Cooma in the early hours of the morning following reports of a resident with a knife.
The police later said Nowland was holding a walking frame and a steak knife with a serrated edge that she had obtained from the kitchen area of the nursing home.
When she refused to drop the knife, it’s alleged White deployed his taser, causing Nowland to fall to the ground and hit her head.
