Amazing, I read the same article less than 5 minutes ago.
Saying, ā€œNa, bugger itā€ would suggest he knew there was another way to disarm Clare but chose the more dangerous taser method.
Scurrilous.

The entire care home seems to full of useless plonkers .
A frail 95 year old with a walker ,6 stone wringing wet and they needed to call the police in ?

Agreed. No one wants to take responsibility.
Really makes no sense. Simply throwing a towel/blanket over her would have incapacitated her.

The charges against the police officer who tasered the 95 year old have been upgraded to Manslaughter
