A Northern Territory coroner has raised serious concerns about the NT Police Force, stating it shows signs of institutional racism in the aftermath of the 2019 shooting of Warlpiri man Kumanjayi Walker by Constable Zachary Rolfe.

In her report, Coroner Elisabeth Armitage said Rolfe was racist and that the workplace culture in Alice Springs normalised such behaviour.
