A relation of the teenage boy killed in Boulder has been lauded for her bravery and courage after an image of her standing between police and protesters during a violent riot in Kalgoorlie emerged on Tuesday.

Hundreds of protesters pelted rocks and bottles at police officers standing guard outside court on Tuesday morning where a 55-year-old man charged with the manslaughter of a 14-year-old Indigenous boy was due to face Kalgoorlie Magistrates Court.

Teenager Elijah Doughty died on Monday morning after the scooter he was riding, which was reported stolen on Sunday and was linked to the accused, was involved in a crash with the 55-year-old accused's Nissan Navara.

Dozens of protesters are expected to be charged over the Tuesday riots which forced court proceedings to be cancelled and the court room evacuated.

Ms Garlett, who said she is a cousin of the deceased teenager was captured on video during the altercation standing between police and protesters with her arms held up.
