Body cam footage released on Monday (11 September) shows officer Daniel Auderer, vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, describing Jaahnavi Kandula as having “limited value.”
The 23-year-old student was killed in January near her university after she was hit by a patrol car while police were responding to an overdose in South Lake Union.
The officer driving the vehicle was responding to a priority-one call and going 74mph in a 25mph speed zone, Seattle Police said.
ThThe Office of Police Accountability has launched an investigation.
