I wrote this after young Walker was shot dead by police. His family read it & gave their blessing

We are all implicated in the system that took Kumanjayi Walker's life and stole him from his family. They are still fighting for justice. No justice no peace

Heavy policing is meant to reinforce framing of a community as inherently violent, incapable of emotional regulation and responsible for inflicting violence upon itself.

The only antagonists here are police.

Shame NT police shame!! Kumanjayi Walker's death/murder in custody MUST be independently investigated. It's time for an end to the practice of police investigating police. Time for some accountability ..do the crime, do the time

My Twitter feed is filled with two things:

1. Climate change fire
2. Kuminjay Walker

Both of these could have been prevented if we just listened to and valued First Nations. Indigenous justice is climate action.
