Police union leader said woman killed by Seattle officer ‘had limited value’
Daniel Auderer denies wrongdoing, claiming he ‘intended the comment as a mockery of lawyers’
"A Seattle police union leader was caught on camera joking about a woman who was killed by a police cruiser, saying her life had “limited value” and the city should “just write a check”. Daniel Auderer, vice-president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, responded to the scene of a 23 January crash where another Seattle police officer, Kevin Dave, had struck and killed Jaahnavi Kandula, a 23-year-old graduate student, on a crosswalk. Dave was driving 74mph (119km/h) on the way to an overdose call in an area where the speed limit was 25mph. Kandula was thrown more than 100ft and died that night.
The disclosure of the call has sparked widespread outrage and renewed scrutiny of the Seattle police department, which recently faced an investigation over reports that officers had a mock tombstone for a Black man killed by police in a break room that also had a Trump flag. After her death, her uncle, Ashok Mandula, of Houston, arranged to send her body to her mother in India. “The family has nothing to say,” Mandula told the Seattle Times. “Except I wonder if these men’s daughters or granddaughters have value. A life is a life.”

Obviously, the guy was just joking and was making fun of the city lawyers who will have to decide on a settlement to pay to the woman's family - or so he claims - and now we have yet another minority group whining about the cops and demanding justice for a person who may have caused the accident by not paying attention to where she was going. Yea, it's sad that she is dead but what's done is done, no need in tearing down the cops because of it.
However, because of the fake outrage by the woke-left; they are conducting a criminal investigation into the crash? Really? Police already said the accident wasn't the officer's fault and he wasn't under the influence of anything, did anyone run a toxicology report on her? However, the video does bring up an interesting point - if it is determined a person has limited value, how are they entitled to these million dollar payouts? This is taxpayers money, what's wrong with trying to pay the least amount possible if it is for a person of low value? That's fiscal conservatism isn't it?
