Shocking body cam footage shows a police officer laughing about a woman who was struck and killed by a patrol car in Seattle.
Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, was killed in January on a crosswalk near her university campus after she was struck by a patrol car and thrown over 100 feet while police were responding to an overdose in the South Lake Union neighborhood.
Seattle Police said the officer driving the patrol vehicle was responding to a priority-one call when the incident happened. The officer was going 74mph in a 25mph speed zone.

WATCH: Seattle Neighborhood Saves Unarmed Black Man From Police
Read more here: https://www.capitolhillseattle.com/20... "Reports of gunfire and yelling in the street Wednesday night near 12th and Mercer led to a tense situation with East Precinct officers taking aim on an unarmed person in crisis before deciding to retreat from the scene when a crowd of bystanders gathered.
The quickly formed and instantly tense standoff is an example of how fast a police response to a 911 report involving a gun can escalate and also shows how perceptions of police in a standoff situation have shifted after repeated incidents like the killing of Tyre Nichols."

SEATTLE — The King County Prosecutor’s Office will not move forward with criminal charges against Seattle Police Officer Kevin Dave in the Jan. 2023 death of Jaahnavi Kandula.
Officer Kevin Dave hit and killed Kandula with his police cruiser while the 23-year-old student was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk on Jan. 23, 2023.
Dave was driving 74 miles an hour without continuously running his siren while responding to a drug overdose call, on a street with a speed limit of 25 miles an hour.
“It’s an unbelievably, unacceptable finding,” said Robert Engel with the Seattle Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression. “Anyone, I don’t care who you are. If you’re doing 74 in a 25, you’re going straight to jail. Much less if you kill somebody.”
Despite traveling at a high speed, King County Prosecutors say negligence alone cannot be pursued for felony charges.
For there to be felony charges, prosecutors say they would have to prove that Officer Dave was consciously disregarding safety. They did have enough evidence to prove that in this case.
Months later, footage was released of Seattle Police Officers Guild Vice President Daniel Auderer joking about Kandula’s death over the phone with SPOG President Mike Solan.
In that recording, Auderer can be heard laughing as he referred to Kandula as “a regular person,” going on to say, “Just write a check -- $11,000, she was 26 anyway, she had limited value.”
Blue Lives have no fucking value. How about that you pigs.
Nowadays the cops are a bigger threat to us than the thugs. We need the Feds to get into this case.
