Yes, they can. They kick very hard, and have sharp toenails. Never stand directly behind one.
However, they are generally quite placid creatures and do not pose danger to people. Their long toenails are used in defence against potential predators. There is no truth to the myth that more people are killed by emus than by sharks. In fact, the prevalence is so low that statistics for deaths by emu are not available.
An emu in the wild is more likely to run from people, whilst farmed emus are more interested in checking out anything that piques their interest. The most danger caused by an emu would be if one suddenly ran in front of one's car, causing the driver to swerve and hit a tree.
Humans are intimatated by the emus' size, therefore have a desire to kill or hurt.
The First Fleet did not set out on a campaign to deliberately kill just the emus. The birds were good food and a reasonably easy target for a colony that needed a head start.
While emus are known to be opportunistic feeders and may attack small animals, they prefer to eat plants and insects. There have been rare incidents of emus attacking or harming sheep, but they are not typically a significant threat to livestock.
The collective nouns for emus are a mob of emus or an implausibility of emus.
Male emus are only referred to as male emus and female emus as female emus.
