In a conversation with Mike Solan, the head of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Seattle Police Department officer and SPOG vice president Daniel Auderer minimized the killing of 23-year-old student Jaahnavi Kandula by police officer Kevin Dave and joked that she had “limited value” as a “regular person” who was only 26 years old.

In fact, as we reported exclusively, Dave was driving 74 miles an hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and struck Kandula while she was attempting to cross the street in a marked and well-lighted crosswalk.

    Having said that, the US justice system could use quite some fixing / a complete overhaul. But yeah, you need police. Anyone saying you don’t is just living in a fantasy world.

      Agreed. There’s a ton of room for improvement there and I’m not against helping poor people or anything I just don’t think doing so will stop crime. I know of a lot of well off people that have done criminal shit.
