In a conversation with Mike Solan, the head of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Seattle Police Department officer and SPOG vice president Daniel Auderer minimized the killing of 23-year-old student Jaahnavi Kandula by police officer Kevin Dave and joked that she had “limited value” as a “regular person” who was only 26 years old.

In fact, as we reported exclusively, Dave was driving 74 miles an hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and struck Kandula while she was attempting to cross the street in a marked and well-lighted crosswalk.

    I didn’t forget. This was one of the worst examples of police abuse that almost nobody knows about. That Sheriff’s Deputy had a long history of violence, and was literally being used as hired muscle by the King County Sheriff at that time. The Deputy should have been charged with attempted murder, and more importantly he shouldn’t have had a fucking job as a police officer in the first place.
