A former officer of the Northern Territory Police, Zachary Rolfe, whilst giving evidence before the Coronal inquest into the death of Aboriginal man Kumanjayi Walker claimed that systemic racism existed within the NT police. Rolfe shot dead Kumnjayi during an attempted arrest in a remote Aboriginal community in 2019, he was acquitted of murdering Kumnjayi in 2022. If Rolfe's claim is true, it shows a serious bias by police against Aboriginal people in the NT, and possibly elsewhere. The NT Police Commissioner Michael Murphy has ordered an inquiry into Rolfe's claims that his police force has as an ingrained culture of racism. Do you believe many police officers are predisposed racists with their attitudes and actions towards Aboriginal people?

I can only comment from personal experience & what people more reliable than Leftist orientated media state.
Most non-indigenous have no prejudice against the Aborigines per se. The cause of much dislike of some indigenous is the perpetual bleating of discrimination. Whilst historically there is more than enough evidence of victimisation of indigenous, it was not always pure malice or dislike. Many of the social problems today are brought on by some indigenous who opportunistically & more often than not, totally unwarranted claim discrimination. I have personally witnessed unacceptable behaviour by non-indigenous towards Aborigines but even more unacceptable behaviour by Aborigines & even more by part-Aborigines towards non-indigenous. Inciting confrontation is the standard tactic to turn a harmonious situation into one of anger by feigned indignation. When an argument becomes heated to the point of becoming physical, it's usually the non-indigenous who then gets branded racist when in fact it is the other way round. To those unfamiliar with such situation this scenario is always a lie etc. Police are not racist against Aboriginal people but they do get frustrated with the troublesome & there are times when Police get too frustrated by the incessant taunts & as soon as confrontation reaches the desired point out come the camera phones. Media releases never show the lead-up because this would clear Police on many occasions. Silly Academics in the city are mostly the cause of the perpetual claims of racism & discrimination based on true/untrue claims a hundred or more years ago.
It's high time some truths were exposed & help some pseudo Aborigines stop being racist. Senator Thorpe actually yelled in Parliament to "stop the Genocide". When will she have to prove her claims ?

If Senator Thorpe behaved like that outside toward police, they would quickly remove her off the street. She would then claim victimhood.

Hi Paul,

You ask if the NT police are racists against Aboriginal
People?

According to the ongoing investigations currently taking
place in the region as a result of what's happened there
-witnesses claim that the police force certainly is racist.
That it is "normal" behaviour and is all part and parcel
of the system. I guess in order to better understand - you'd
have to live and work in the region.

Police Commissioner Murphy has claimed that he
had not seen racist behaviour in any of the police stations
around the territory. But perhaps the current investigation
may open his eyes.

We all know that a police officers job is not an easy one
and undoubtedly there are many good men and women in the
force. However, an investigation certainly will help - but
perhaps more needs to be done - in the way of re-educating
officers as to what is and is not acceptable behaviour for
officers. Perhaps there is a need to actually sit down
and talk through some of the problems that do exist.
And try to find solutions that are acceptable to all parties.

Officers need to be reminded that the Police Oath is about
service according to law. And that a police officer must
without malice or any ill-will serve fairly until they are
legally discharged.

Hopefully something good will result out of this investigation
for all concerned.

witnesses claim that the police force certainly is racist.
Foxy,
What these witnesses witness is not "standard Police Racism", what they see is an acclimatisation response to the standard abuse by some repeat offender Aborigines.
The witnesses don't see the constant replay of dealing with abusive drunk & drugged offenders spitting & pi$$ing on PO's.
I'm not condoning it when a PO 'loses it' but I do understand why PO's do lose it. Do-gooders refuse that kind of evidence & without delay bleat racism.
The culprits are generally brilliant actors when the moment to act arises. Do-gooders are sucked into it like there's no tomorrow. I have witnessed some goings on from the start to the end & the aforementioned scenario is what I saw. I have also witnessed indigenous deny what they witnessed the same incident I witnessed. You make up your own conclusion. Just don't forget that a racist practised bleating racism is always the one who gets the sympathetic ear of the Leftist Media. Even the decent Aboriginal's evidence is dismissed.
Try to work out a solution to that problem. The first hurdle you'll stumble on will be Paul1405.
Please don't forget about the many genuine & decent Aborigines who are better citizens than many of the non-indigenous.

Are the aboriginals racist toward police?
