Bodycam Reveals Cop Joked That Woman Killed by Police Had ‘Limited Value’
"Newly released body camera footage shows a Seattle cop—who’s a leader in the local police union—making shockingly flippant comments about a South Asian woman killed by one of his colleagues earlier this year, saying the woman, 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula, had “limited value.” He’s since defended the comments by saying he was misunderstood and was only trying to make a joke about lawyers.
Kandula, a graduate student at Seattle’s Northeastern University, was killed in January when another officer responding to an overdose call in the South Lake Union neighborhood drove into her as she walked on a crosswalk. The Seattle Times reported that the officer, Kevin Dave, had been driving at 74 mph and that Kandula was thrown more than 100 feet. One witness said Dave hit his brakes just one second before hitting Kandula, while another described how the hood of Dave’s car crumpled at the severity of the impact. Local investigators determined that if Dave had been driving just 50 mph—and not 74—the collision wouldn’t have happened. Daniel Auderer, a drug recognition expert and vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, according to the Seattle Times, had been sent to the scene to determine whether Dave was under the influence of anything."
