Shocking body cam footage shows a police officer laughing about a woman who was struck and killed by a patrol car in Seattle.
Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, was killed in January on a crosswalk near her university campus after she was struck by a patrol car while police were responding to an overdose in the South Lake Union neighborhood.
Seattle Police said the officer driving the patrol vehicle was responding to a priority-one call when the incident happened. The officer was going 74mph in a 25mph speed zone.
Seattle Police on Monday released body cam video of the January incident from officer Daniel Auderer—who is also the Vice President of the Seattle Police Officers Guild—in which he is heard insulting, joking and laughing about 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula, who was struck in a crosswalk while police were responding to an overdose in the area.
This is what police think of the public when they think no one is looking…your life is worth less than $11000 and your death by their negligence will be a funny joke.
