An innocent boy? He was a 19-year old man who was a menace to the community with a long history of break-in’s, theft and property destruction. He threatened two police officers with a hatchet three days prior. Officers didn’t even look for him for two full days after so he could attend his grandfather’s funeral. He was given the opportunity to turn himself in afterwards, but he never did. Surely these people don’t think because they’ve been mistreated, they should be allowed to do whatever they want?
This was the first time anyone was even charged for the death of an Indigenous Australian in custody and still no justice. No guns in communities is the least that can be done.
Any moral, compassionate and decent human being can see the truth here. I stand with Kumanjayi Walker and his family, and every victim of state violence.
I see the truth and it isn't police fault. You can call me racist but Aboriginal people burning a medical centre men were likely getting help from for mental issues is not helping. We need to FIX the issues WHITE liberals blame cops and want MORE SBC (suicide by cops) until they all dead. For Walker's sake, no more black SBC but you'll call me racist for seeing the pattern.
After watching the the bodycam footage just minutes ago, I am very compassionate, being suddenly attacked with a sharp instrument (scissors) must have been a horrifying experience for the officer. I'm glad he was acquitted in the justified shooting and didn't face any serious permanent injuries.
I was not surprised that once again police officer not charged at all! . It is racism! If it was my wadjela child there would have been no shooting. No she would have been offered all forms of support before a weapon, taser regardless of what her charges may or may not have been! I grew up in Hedland (Pilbara) I have witnessed so many early death’s from suicide, police custody RIP Ms Dhu, RIP Tyrone Riley (many others) they immediately come to mind. From Onslow, Leonora, Wiluna and every town I have worked I have been shown big heart’s, huge families and I witness the differences between how I was treated to how the First Nations are treated in general from medical, employment, mental health, physical health, law, education and I do believe racism is the issue! RACISM! How this officer walked without charges is beyond my comprehension! To watch this video it reminds me of so many friends lost from deaths in custody, no medical treatment, no compassion! My sincere condolences to all Walker family, friends and letting you know we stand United next to you! What a beautiful fight you have undertaken in honour of a fellow human denied the right of family at time of passing, the blatant disregard for Kumanjayi Walker, and his family from media, courts, government and law enforcement. Beautiful, raw video of the love surrounding Kumanjayi at a time of grieving for grandfather. 👊🏽
Im surprised by such a long comment on a case you obviously know such little about. The cop was (rolfe) was charged and found not guilty as this fine young man came running out trying to stab the cops. There was also a inquest and was found fit and suitable to return to his position. They were there trying to execute a warrant that day for his arrest. The tried to execute the same warrant 3 days earlier and he chased them out of the house trying to attack them with an axe. The police bodycam is VERY confronting and the young man is Very aggressive Also they left out of this utube vid that there is/was a medical centre in that community but had to close weeks earlier due to safety concerns for the staff and also rampant theft from a medical centre offering free services. Also on the night that it all happened the rioting outside the lock up made it harder for the cops to move this upstanding citizen to the airstrip. None of that is racist and these communities should take some responsibility and accountability
H e was charged, and was found not guilty, by a jury. He resisted arrest, and tried to stab a police officer. He was a violent dangerous man. He wasn't a victim.
My heart goes out to you all. It's hard to believe that this sort of racism and cruelty is still going on in this so called civilised country. Bless you all.
Absolutely heartbreaking, thank you for producing this and on behalf of my colleagues at Royal Darwin Hospital, we are sorry, and Kumanjayi and his story will live in us
Lots of love to our beautifull son is like my son who passed from my brother family and rest in peace our aboriginal son who is in heaven with my aboriginal sons rip my sons
I stand with Kumanjayi Walker, your family and community. I am disgraced beyond words at the absolute absence of accountability, humanity and justice. Every system in this corporate Australia has been designed to fail the very people who have looked after this country and each other for tens of thousands of years before colonisation. Yuendumu is a beautiful community with strong and powerful people and nothing but welcoming. My visits there will always be some of the best memories in my desert life...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Condolences to Kumanjayi Walker’s family, friends and community. Until the killing stops there will be no justice and no healing possible in this country we call Australia. Powerful documentary ♥️
Some times they try to wrong me with their jack flag of wrong skin flag but i know what i am talking about is in defence of us natives people and our dingoe dog family is a beautifull dog is my dreaming and we should keep the dream alive and keep everything native and aboriginal
Enough is enough! This will not stop unless some drastic changes are made to respect First Nations peoples and their rights be recognised to prevent this from happening in the future. THE TIME IS NOW!! Nothing will change unless that happens! Accountability is key no matter what ethnicity you belong to. Why is it so hard to be treated with respect and as a human being deserving of fair treatment? BECAUSE RACISM IS ALIVE & WELL! I stand with the families and the community impacted by the devastation of the death of a much loved family member.
@@williamkelly9628 Where's the accountability of the coloniser and colonisation? Did the white coloniser take responsibility for their history of genocide and violence enacted upon indigenous peoples of the world here in Australia and throughout the world? The separate judicial and legal systems you speak of have already been implemented but not by First Nations peoples. The ignorant, arrogant, self entitled class you seem to belong to just need to wake up to become better educated in the history of the country you live in and become a member of a wider family that values humanity above prejudice, bias or racial slurs to name but only a few of the concepts that cause inequalities. End of.
@@swamig6150 and that is exactly what has to change. This Government obviously cares not. Problems will never be solved until the desire to do so exists.

Did Kumanji STAB a police officer???
Yes he did and that is why he was shot by the other police officer.
He stabbed both of them . They were there because he bashed his girlfriend with a rock.
@Nanguancarn do some research they wernt there for him assaulting his gf they were there regarding a break and enter he did afew wks prior
That cuntstable has had other officers help him fake injuries in the past!
Has anyone here actually seen, watched or read any court findings?
This was the first time anyone was even charged for the death of an Indigenous Australian in custody and still no justice. No guns in communities is the least that can be done.
He stabbed cops. You people are delusional
Yeah they won’t mention that part
He is to blame stop blaming the Police
I believe racism will go on as long there's someone sits in parliament who has a racial background will keep on fanning the system

Yes and I do believe that racism will go on because of having racist members in a parliament who will cover up racism doesn't exist
It's not racism to shoot someone that is stabbing a cop after refusing to comply with the warrant for their arrest. It was proven in court
Try to educate yourself before commenting. He tried to stab a police officer and got shot.

We should just leave these community’s to themselves let them sort it all out police should just boycott and not go 60.000 yrs they’ll sort it out ?😂

why? Have we not had a Royal Commission into these repeated murders?
sorry to say but Royal Commission just like the Queen a wast of time.

Can't we train our police to be better than this. Most of them aren't smart enough and are way too gutless for the job.
Stab a cop with a pair of scissors ✂️ and expect that the police won’t defend themselves?
