After footage was released this week of a Seattle police officer saying 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula’s life “had limited value” on the night of her death, those who knew and loved her want the world to know that the opposite is true.
Kandula was struck and killed by a different officer while she was crossing the street on Jan. 23. Officer Daniel Auderer, also the vice president of the police union, responded to the scene of the accident and was recorded on his body camera appearing to laugh about and make light of the woman's death.
“Yeah, just write a check,” Auderer was recorded saying on a phone call. “She was 26 anyway,” he continued, getting Kandula’s age wrong. “She had limited value.”
