Killer cop Kristian White is at it again.
He’s calling on his fellow cops to jump on anyone who dares to approach him and ask what kind of brain explosion could lead an on-duty officer to fire his gun at a bewildered 95-year-old lady.
White was first approached by the media after he was named as the police officer who Tasered Clare Nowland, a great-grandmother and dementia patient, in June 2023.
When Daily Mail Australia tracked you down, what did you do? Exactly what White, now convicted of the manslaughter of Mrs. Nowland, did this week.
He called the police and asked them to ask us questions.
There has been a similar story of special treatment before.
When White first faced the court, a magistrate heavily criticized the Director of Public Prosecutions for allowing him to attend court via video link (unlike him, “a fool sitting in the dock”).
And now he’s free as a convicted murderer.
Kristian White seems to receive special treatment from the system that few others receive. Channel Seven reporter Annie Puller was called to police after she confronted him this week.
This week, a Channel Seven reporter, Annie Puller, dared to confront White on a street in Cooma, in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, about his release on bail pending sentencing.
By now, sacked from the New South Wales Police but clearly still protected by the men and women in blue, White apparently got down to business and called in his colleagues, Seven reported.
Within minutes of their confrontation, the Seven News crew were questioned about filming White “near a daycare”, as the journalist noted, on a public road. Officers then breath-tested their driver (who blew a negative sample).
The officer who confronted the reporters even admitted, “Someone just called the police regarding the media…I’m guessing it has something to do with a matter that’s obviously either in court or not in court.”
(NSW Police claimed they happened to be patrolling the area.)
In June 2023 I had a similar experience. It was a photographer and I who dared to stop Kristian White on a public road.
It had only been three weeks since White had killed Mrs. Nowland.
The 43kg nursing home resident was holding a steak knife on top of her walker when White applied an electric current to her, causing her to fall to the ground at Cooma’s Yallambee Lodge.
He fractured his skull and suffered an inoperable brain hemorrhage. Commissioner Webb authorized a press release about the incident to omit the fact that Ms. Nowland was Tasered.
Ms Nowland’s family were attending Cooma Hospital to say goodbye to her as she lay unconscious, when police eventually charged White with grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning bodily harm and common assault.
Hours later, on May 24, 2023, Mrs. Nowland died.
Clare Nowland, 95, died after being shot with a Taser by NSW Police Constable Kristian White. He was fired after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Kristian White returned to Cooma early on June 7. He, his partner and their young daughter went to a Cooma veterinary clinic to pick up their dog.
When they returned to their three-bedroom home, which White has owned since 2017, Daily Mail Australia approached the senior agent who was suspended on full pay at the time.
Showing full identification and announcing the media outlet’s request to speak to him, the Mail received no response as White got into his car and immediately left.
It soon became clear where he was headed: Cooma Police Station.
While parking outside on the street, the Mail photographer received a phone call.
It was from inside the police station, demanding that he and I show up for questioning before the officers inside.
Kristian White had reported fears of alleged bullying and harassment.
To be fair, once we were inside and brought before two officers, the sergeant who questioned us was quite friendly.
But we had to “explain” our actions and be lectured about the fact that we were not only dealing with White, but, without realizing it, an innocent woman.
They let us go after about 20 minutes of interrogation. An unusual experience that doesn’t happen very often.
White’s treatment by the Attorney General’s Office (by allowing him not to appear in person at an early court appearance) infuriated a local court magistrate.
In the following days, when White was due to appear in court for the first time on July 5 last year, he managed to avoid further media attention by appearing in court via audio-visual link.
This angered Magistrate Roger Clisdell, who reprimanded the Director of Public Prosecutions for allowing the accused not to appear in person.
The magistrate noted that money had been spent on additional security in preparation for the matter’s trial in court. Magistrate Clisdell was displeased.
‘Who runs the court, (the PDP) or me?
“Dumbo sitting on the bench here has to endure (physically going to court)… I’m not happy.”
White was subsequently charged with involuntary manslaughter and continued to enjoy generous bail conditions.
As he prepares to celebrate Christmas abroad, ahead of receiving the likely outcome of a prison sentence at a hearing on February 7, is Kristian White getting the last laugh as the untouchable Taser cop?
