It is absolutely no coincidence that this decision is made public on National Sorry Day.
_____
Northern Territory police have confirmed they have declined to charge the two off-duty officers involved in an arrest over the death of 24-year-old Kumanjayi White, a Warlpiri man who lived with cognitive disabilities.
White died on 27 May last year during a confrontation with police in a Coles supermarket. His death sparked nationwide rallies and outrage, with calls for accountability and an independent probe.
The Northern Territory police commissioner, Martin Dole, said the Director of Public Prosecutions and territory police had conducted a fair and thorough investigation over the past 12 months.
“A brief of evidence was submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions for their opinion. Following consideration of all available evidence, including the independent expert report, the DPP formed the view that there was no reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution,” Dole said.
The commissioner acknowledged the ongoing distress, anger and grief of White’s family and the Northern Territory Aboriginal community.
“While the decision not to proceed with charges was made based on the evidence and applicable legal thresholds, we recognise this outcome may be difficult for Kumanjayi White’s family – a man lost his life.”
Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of White’s death.

People look for context cues on expected reactions. Offer an apology (outside Canada) and people are primed to assume fault of some kind.

Today I will have moments of silence amidst the busyness. Remembering the incalculable harm done to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The harm that continues.
I stood on the lawn of Parliament House when Kevin Rudd said we are sorry. Standing with people from across the country. An apology too late but needed. The real business of leadership.
There is so much more to be done. But for today I will remember.
Please do too.

Sorry Day? How can the government claim to be sorry for the actions it continues to do?
When Kevin Rudd first apologised for the Stolen Generations back in 08, our child removal rates were bordering on those of the official Stolen Generations policies of the 1900s.
Every year since, our child removal rates have continued to rise.
During the height of the stolen generations, it is estimated that anywhere from 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 Aboriginal children were taken. Today, 1 in 4 children come into contact with the system.
Many of these children aren't placed in the care of their extended family, or even their community.
Some of these children, in an act of continued assimilation practices, are even taken outside of this continent to be raised in places like Europe by white parents.This kidnapping of our children by the colony must end. Our children aren't a commodity or novelty for settlers to acquire, they're our future and legacy, and they're real, living people who belong with their family on their country.

Today is National Sorry Day.
Every May 26, Australia reflects on a deep national wound & commemorate the grief, trauma & loss experienced by the Stolen Generations—thousands of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families by the government.#auspol #SorryDay

“Saying ‘Sorry’ is not enough. Generations are still being stolen. We need action, as well as words. Paying the Rent is a powerful action to strengthen First Nations sovereignty, belonging and culture.”
