The attempted arrest of Kumanjayi Walker was "very much a failure" and should have involved better planning, clear communication and a risk assessment, a member of the arrest team has told the Northern Territory coroner.
Constable James Kirstenfeldt was one of five Alice Springs-based police officers deployed to Yuendumu on November 9, 2019, tasked with arresting Mr Walker for a breach of a court order and assaulting police.
