What were the immediate consequences of Kristian White's actions, and what systemic issues does this case highlight within Australian law enforcement?

A former Australian police officer, Kristian White, was found guilty of manslaughter for fatally Tasering a 95-year-old woman, Clare Nowland, who posed no immediate threat. Instead of de-escalating the situation, White used his taser, resulting in Nowland's death from injuries sustained in the fall. He received a two-year community corrections order and 425 hours of community service.
