A police report on the shooting death of Warlpiri teenager Kumanjayi Walker was scathing of the “military police response” in his remote community and described a “warrior mentality” among members, but other criticisms that appeared in an earlier draft of the report were removed from the final version.
The original coronial investigation report by the NT police commander, David Proctor, and his final 170-page report were published on Thursday, after the coroner investigating Walker’s death lifted a suppression order. The publications revealed previously redacted details about the shooting and the subsequent police investigation.
