The senior officer in Yuendumu says she wouldn't have called in a special police unit to help arrest an Indigenous teenager if she'd known some of its members held racist views towards Aborigines.
Giving evidence in the inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker, Sergeant Julie Frost, agreed language revealed in text messages, which referred to Indigenous Australians as "c**ns" and "neanderthals", was both disgraceful and abhorrent.
The messages were retrieved from the phone of Constable Zachary Rolfe who shot Mr Walker three times during an arrest attempt in Yuendumu in 2019.
