Officer Kevin Dave hit and killed Kandula with his police cruiser while the 23-year-old student was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk on Jan. 23, 2023.
Dave was driving 74 miles an hour without continuously running his siren while responding to a drug overdose call, on a street with a speed limit of 25 miles an hour.
Months later, footage was released of Seattle Police Officers Guild Vice President Daniel Auderer joking about Kandula’s death over the phone with SPOG President Mike Solan.
In that recording, Auderer can be heard laughing as he referred to Kandula as “a regular person,” going on to say, “Just write a check – $11,000, she was 26 anyway, she had limited value.”
Wait, why blame her when the cop is supposed to drive the speed limit and watch where he’s going and who’s coming into a crosswalk? Don’t teach cops how to drive safely, teach everyone else to get out of their way… wait, what?!
Ugh, fuck this whole species.
I’m not blaming anyone sweetie. People are and always will be reckless. You can teach all you want but at the end of the day most people including cops will speed, text, and eat while driving(among other things). Do whatever you want but I know I’m double checking when crossing no matter who’s driving baby! You know what I mean jelly bean? What species do you like better out of curiosity?
I remember when people used to say “lock your doors!” to residents and “don’t use ATMs at night”. Now people are kicking down doors and robbing people in broad daylight. “Use 2 factor authentication” they say. Hackers laughed at that and smashed stacks to break in from the floorboards. “Look both ways” they say. Then you get hit by a super quiet electric car with no lights on.
You can look both ways and lock your doors and use ATMs in daytime all the live long day and someone will find a negligent or intentional way to end you. What always makes it WORSE is when they don’t get punished. Especially cops.
Go build you a nice bunker somewhere and never leave pussy lol
Oh look at you, Mr. Keyboard Badass. I’m out and about and will continue to be long after long COVID has finished rotting your brain, which it apparently has started doing.
Thank you, I’m just out here doing God’s work (aka my own lol) and trying to stay humble…Rawr! I’m a corona zombie! I’m going to get you my pretty and your little tendie too! Don’t slip on your own puddle of piss… 😉 I saw you the other day fyi
