Police Officer Who Joked After Woman’s Death Speaks Out

There's growing outrage over a Seattle cop who laughed while talking about the death of a college student who was run over by a patrol car. Bodycam video shows the cop, Daniel Auderer, laughing during a call with the president of the Seattle Police Union. College student Jaahnavi Kandula was fatally struck by a patrol car driven by another cop speeding to an emergency call. Officer Auderer says he was not being callous and was just talking about how city lawyers would treat the case.

"She had limited value" Freaking disgusting. How could someone who's duty is to save people show so much disrespect to a young lady who had her whole life ahead of her?!

Sociopaths don’t belong in the police force. He needs to be fired. 😡

Sadly you can't jail someone for being "insensitive" but you CAN'T have armed sociopaths driving around with a badge.

Disgusting! Why on earth does he think someone who's 26 has limited value, a grad student, a young woman with the world ahead of I'm 56- i'm sure in his mind i'd be worthless. To her loved ones and friends- May you find comfort, and peace, because you knew this remarkable, priceless young woman.❤

I don’t think anyone believes he was “talking about how city lawyers would treat the case.” No rational human being would laugh at the death of this poor woman.

He’s not upset that she’s dead, he’s upset because he was caught *laughing.*

You'd be surprised how police, doctors etc talk about people they deal with when they think nobody is listening

“She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.” -this statement told me everything I needed to know.

[greglee]

How would he feel if this happened to his daughter and someone was laughing after the fact? Truly disgusting.

Remember that this was somebody’s baby, they raised her and cared for her till she was 23, SHE LIVED AND BREATHED TILL SHE WAS 23! She had a future, she had a life, she was a living being.

The sociopath whose cruelty knows no bounds is an outright liar.

[HazMat]

Just the picture of the girl shows she's of GREAT value. She looks like she had it together and had ambition. And I'm sure if people got to know her, she would be tremendously honorable. Hope that cop is gone...

[bravepoodle]

Im sure the grad student, who had limited value because she was 26, believed police officers were gonna save her, take her to the hospital, and was thankful for your service, till the very last moment. She had unlimited value.

This is a person who’s whole job it is to protect the community wild

[henryhilton]

I think I finally understand why Seattle wanted to defund the police.

[rachey]

She was 23. She was so young. She had unlimited value.

[Jupiterignite]

This just goes to show who this person truly is

[ptrachev]

That laughter was just sickening
Someone died from that accident and at the hands of one of your own cops
Nothing funny about that and to even try to justify that callius reaction is so reprehensible to me🤬

He was so happy and full of energy. What kind of human is that.

[blingblockchain]

This is sick. He can try to defend himself but there’s no question about his remarks. I hope the family is doing okay
