A Seattle police accountability office is investigating after an officer was recorded on his body camera joking about the death of a 23-year-old woman who was fatally struck by another officer who was responding to a call.
Graduate student Jaahnavi Kandula was in a crosswalk the night of Jan. 23 when an officer driving 74 mph struck her with his patrol SUV, authorities say. Police say that officer was responding to an emergency call.
In newly released body camera footage, another officer who was responding to the scene of the fatal collision can be heard discussing the incident, while laughing, on the phone in his cruiser.
The Seattle Police Department released the footage this week.

Come and defend him police unions, come and defend him, think of some thing, just come and defend him, think of some lie , say he was reading a book out loud…
He can do ,he's white nothing white men do is wrong yes ?? And police unions will condone his behavior and defend him yes ? Its all part of make "America Great Again"…
Sounds like the other person got the ball rolling with the jokes
If someone talks down on someone like this you can bet your life on it that he's corrupt in many other ways! Saying limited value about a 26 year old girl is absolutely despicable and I would investigate all his arrests, especially the ones with girls and women involved!
His family must be so very proud. Now that the world knows what he is. "She has limited value" Partner agrees
"Yeah"
I wonder what his family is worth according to his calculations….or his life for that matter. He needs to be "FIRED" Now! Investigation not needed…Its in plain sight…Get this guy off the force today!
Prosecute this mess
I wonder what questions was asked that made him say "she was just a regular person"
Sounds like a sociopath, and doesn’t deserve to work in a position of power
This is like complaining about your military killing without reservations.
What is he? Not a regular person?
What does that mean? Police are a higher class of people than everyone else? A life is priceless, so why can he value her life at 11,000$ & she had limited value? W.T.F……that person should not have any authority anywhere, anytime, and should be terminated.
This is unacceptable
He said a regular person like he's not just a regular person.
I wanna know what incited the “no, it’s a regular person” comment
Fu#k
One statement……
”KARMA KNOWS EVERYBODY’S ADDRESS!!!”
Hard to believe this is real! Please tell me there is more to this story. Worse than no compassion. My wife was hit and killed by a car. If heard recording like this from her death the world's population would have lost a couple people . U believable
And then you wonder how we end up with dead bodies. That’s psychopathic behavior. No empathy or respect for the position they hold
Why is he on the phone.
Law braker.
You dont have to be a brainless psychopath to be a disease in the community, but viola here it is proving it helps.
He just laughed at hitting someone?
“It’s a regular person” who ever made these police think they’re above us?
Im so disgusted 🤢….i hope her family hasnt seen or heard this. How could anyone be so heartless….the cops that came when my husband passed was so kind to us. Even seen one cop shed a tear when we said goodbye to him…😢😢😢😢should be fired that is demonic.
Wow that's messed up what does that mean she was just a regular person did they mean that she's not black
I don't care what horrible situation Police find themselves in the empathy last for about ten seconds then the cover up and cover our ass begins. Protect and Serve apparently refers only to them.
Wow…..like wow.
WHAT THE HELL???!?
This guy is screwed. 😮
The only one whose value is limited is his. Who says this about somebody’s child.
Ridiculous wonder what u would have said if it was ur family member ?
WOW…..judgment coming for this person making light of this person who were killed . Shame on you.
Remember, cops are people too…
That's horrible! Who would laugh about something like this? 😠
It’s some sick people in this world sad
I hope BOOGALOO dance on your grave MFER !
Who is the person on the other end of the phone because they’re saying some thing making him laugh.
wonder if he'd have that tone if it was his family member
What's the officer's name pls
Whomever is on the other end of that call should be fired too.
The police office should be given death penalty
Officer Daniel Auderer is disgusting and should be fired immediately. Same goes for the president of the Seattle police union (the person he was talkin to). I wonder how many other victims he has made jokes about. I can guarantee u this isn't the 1st time. It's just the 1st time he's been caught. My heart goes out her family 💔
That is unfortunate. At first it looked like they were going to deal with it right.
That's our guardian to protect us from harm n ded 😂
It is amazing he was still recording, thank God his very immoral and evil self was revealed for all to see, why is no one talking about the other person on the line he or she is just as shitty a human being, and be real the way they were joking goes to show the level of depravity and comfort they have, it's a culture, this is the norm, not the exception.
Policemen need to be made understood that they are public servants, they work for the citizenry, please stop putting this people over all making them heroes, their worship needs to end only them will the culture change.
They don't mind about human lives anymore
No class at all!
