In a shocking development which showcased the Hypocrisy of the US always being ready to teach 'Human Rights' lessons to others, a video went viral in which the Seattle cop was heard joking about the death of an Indian-origin woman, Jaahnavi Kandula who was killed by a speeding police patrol vehicle in January this year.
The cop has been identified as Daniel Auderer and her serves as Seattle Police Guild’s vice president, As per the report, on 23rd January 2023, Auderer who was driving his patrolling police vehicle at 74 mph in a 25-mph zone, mowed down 23-year-old Jaahnavi, who was crossing the road. She was thrown over 100 feet away.
Following the accident, Auderer called the guild President, Mike Solan, to inform him what happened. Hours after his death. During the primary call, Auderer reported the officer was driving his car at 50 MPH and was not “out of control”
The news came to limelight after the Seattle police department released a recording of the bodycam in which he was caught laughing at her death. In the video, Auderer could be heard laughing and suggesting that Kandula was 26, and her life had “limited value” and that the city should just “write a cheque” worth USD 11,000.
Referring to Kandula, Auderer said, "No, it’s a regular person." Towards the end of the clip, he can be heard saying, through bursts of laughter, "Yeah, just write a check. Eleven thousand dollars. She was 26 anyway," misstating the age of the victim. He further said, "She had limited value," the New York Post reported. Auderer said that he did not believe a criminal investigation was being carried out. He said, "I mean, he was going 50 mph. That’s not out of control. That’s not reckless for a trained driver."
Timestamps on the bodycam footage show that his call to another colleague about the incident took place the following evening.
Kandula was a master’s student at Northeastern University’s Seattle campus. Kandula was from Andhra Pradesh. Her body was transferred to India for the last rites by her uncle Ashok Mandala, who lives in Houston. Speaking to Seattle Times, Mandela said, “The family has nothing to say except I wonder if these men’s daughters or granddaughters have value. A life is a life.”
Assistant Director of Operations at the Office of Police Accountability Katie Maier said in a statement that the office received a complaint on 2nd August from an employee with the Seattle Police Department, and an investigation was initiated into the matter.
According to KTTH-AM host Jason Rantz, who obtained a copy of the written statement, Auderer wrote, “I intended the comment as a mockery of lawyers. I laughed at the ridiculousness of how these incidents are litigated and how I watched these incidents play out as two parties bargain over a tragedy.”
The station further reported that Auderer acknowledged anyone listening to his statement without context to the conversation would “rightfully believe I was being insensitive to the loss of human life.” Auderer claimed to have reported himself to the accountability office after “realizing his statement was recorded”.
