I feel like not enough blame is being pointed at the dementia care facility letting her get a hold of a steak knife in the first place. Ms White died from the fall, not the taser, any other technique used to disarm her safely could've easily led to the same outcome.

I also think "mancatchers" should be equipped to both dementia care and police vehicles. They're a cheap, simple effective way to restrain someone with minimal risk to the detainer.
