It is not easy for a warrior to become a guardian, an inquest for an Indigenous teenager shot dead by a soldier turned Northern Territory policeman has been told.
Kumanjayi Walker, 19, died after Constable Zachary Rolfe shot him three times during a bungled arrest in Yuendumu, northwest of Alice Springs, on November 9, 2019.
Retired police commander David Proctor has told the coroner that Const Rolfe and three colleagues were undisciplined and armed with military-type weapons when they were sent to the remote community.
