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.”

    Are we surprised? They do internal reviews. They protect their own. That needs to be stopped. We need an outside company to go over evidence for complaints and things of this nature.

      That guy probably doesn’t even get out of his car to get donuts. Pedestrians are seen as poor people that can’t afford cars.

    So will the SPD speak to the valuation differential between the lives of human beings and lives of cops ?

    I’d be interested in hearing a breakdown of which citizens have value and how according to the SPD.

          I hope that fantasy makes you feel good.

          I’d prefer to fantasize that we’ll invest in the parts of society that uplift people, so we don’t need police. Then those people can find a more meaningful occupation, and help build a better world. That, to me, would be justice.
