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.

    Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Having a shitty life doesn’t excuse victimizing others.

      Where did I try and excuse it? It happens, and certain circumstances make it worse. You can cry about who should or shouldn’t do what or you can make the fucking changes.

        Not sure what you think I have the power to change buddy. All most of us can do is be the best we can on an individual level which means not victimizing each other as a start. If someone can’t even manage that I don’t have a lot of sympathy for them.

          You have the power to attack the people responsible with the same fervor that you’re coming after me.

              The difference is that I’m trying to wake people up to join the conversation and you’re drunk on the status quo.

                Excusing the actions of murderers, rapists, and thieves isn’t the way to do that bud. I’m not drunk on anything, just realistic.

                  I’m sorry that you’re incapable of basic logic and reasoning, but clearly you’ve wasted too much of my time.
