Justice For Walker trends on Twitter as officer Zachary Rolfe is found not guilty by the court.
Kumanjayi Walker was killed in a gunshot that took place inside his home between the man and two officers.
Officer Zachary Rolfe was among the two officers who had gone to Walker’s house in order to arrest the young man.
He was to be detained after he threatened officers with an axe while they were trying to catch the man for his suspended sentence.
Only around a minute after the officers entered the home, gunshots were heard and Walker was shot three times by Rolfe.
Walker attacked the officer and he shot the 19-year-old in self-defense.
But charges were laid against Rolfe that the second and third shots were unnecessary as Walker was already on the ground after the first gunshot.
Around two years after the incident, officer Zachary is now proven not guilty by the court which in turn has raged the victim’s supporters and people.
Justice For Walker: Officer Zachary Rolfe Is Found Not Guilty In Kumanjayi Walker Murder
Justice for Walker is a hot topic on Twitter after officer Zachary Rolfe was proven not guilty in the Kumanjayi Walker murder.
The police personnel was on the trial for charges that he shot Walker three times when the first shot should have been sufficient.
It took place in 2019 when Rolfe shot 19-year-old Walker three times.
His first shot was deemed self-defense after Kumanjayi attacked but his second and third shots were placed on the judgment.
The victim’s family insisted that the officer acted in rage rather than in discipline and should be punished for that personal anger.
The defense, on the other hand, spoke that it was complete self-defense since the police law allows continuous firing if the attacker is holding sharp objects and is not in complete control.
Followed by five weeks of evidence, Zachary is freed by the court.
But the dead’s supporters are not happy with the verdict and are raising their voice on the media with “Justice for Walker” as their slogan.
