By Erica C. Barnett In a conversation with Mike Solan, the head of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Seattle Police…

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.

    If you want get really mad and/or have a reddit account you want banned, just check r/protectandserve.

    They’re lamenting how bad this makes them look, and how this will make policing harder.

    There are some who are even agreeing with the officer, about how these “remarks” shouldn’t get him fired.

            It’s a joke but it’s also a real rebuttle. It’s weird. An in-law relative of mine became a cop. So, I guess since he’s not a total jerk he’s part of the 1%… And yet, he’s going to find himself either doing what he’s told or he’s going to find himself out of a job or out of life. It’s just too big of a gang for one person to break up. The union is another issue entirely.

      It looks bad because it is bad. Unfortunately it’s just par for the course and nothing will change, because we live in hell.

      Just got immediately banned there. Those mods are keeping a close eye on that thread, lol.

      There’s a disgusting amount of bootlicking in that thread. “I believe officer ‘whatshisname’ deserves a second chance” 🥺
