In the quiet hours before dawn at a nursing home in Cooma, New South Wales, a ninety-five-year-old great-grandmother named Clare Nowland — frail, slight, and living with dementia — was tasered by police responding to reports of a resident with a knife. She fell, struck her head, and died days later in hospital. Her death has prompted criminal charges against the officer involved and opened a wider reckoning with how societies protect their most vulnerable from the very forces meant to keep them safe.
