The following footage released by the Seattle Police department is of the vice president of the seattle officers guild ,Daniel Auderer. The footage is from the aftermath of the tragic death of 23 year old ,Jaahnavi Kandula, who was struck and killed by officer Auderer’s police car which was speeding at approximately 63 mph.
After the incident, he called the president of the union Mike Solan. On the phone call, Auderer said “Yeah just write a check…eleven thousand dollars she was 26 anyways”. Officer Auderer failed to remember her age, Jaahnavi was in fact not 26, she was 23 .
After that comment, he claimed she had limited value. The entire conversation was followed by chilling laughter, showing clearly that he had no remorse for the woman he had just killed.While driving, Auderer was on his way to a potential overdose case and when he arrived there were already emergency responders at the scene.
Auderer has committed many offenses in the past and he went unpunished. He has had 18 internal investigations from 2010 to now 2024. These investigations, violence, assaults, and sexual harassment, are only some examples. He also has a history of racist and sexist behaviors that shine through in the investigations. Auderer currently has been reassigned to a non operative position.
