Footage released this week shows Officer Daniel Auderer, vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, joking with the rank-and-file police union’s president after a different officer’s speeding police car on Jan. 23 slammed into Jaahnavi Kandula at a crosswalk.
Protesters march through downtown Seattle after body camera footage was released of a Seattle police officer joking about the death of Jaahnavi Kandula, a 23-year-old woman hit and killed in January by officer Kevin Dave in a police cruiser, Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023, in Seattle.
Protesters on Thursday evening gathered at the Seattle intersection where the 23-year-old graduate student was fatally struck by Officer Kevin Dave’s SUV. The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is conducting a criminal review of the crash. At the demonstration on Thursday, 5-year-old Layla Allibhai sat atop father Mo Allibhai’s shoulders while holding a sign saying: “I have unlimited value. So did Jaahnavi.”“I think this has galvanized people because it’s so blatant and disrespectful to put a value on a human’s life at $11,000,” Patricia Hunter, co-chair of the Community Police Commission, said in an interview Friday.
The Seattle Police Officers Guild said in a statement Friday that it understands the outrage caused by the “highly insensitive comments.” Solan, who had been on the other end of the call with Auderer, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
