On January 24th, 2023, a 23-year-old exchange student from India, Jaahnavi Kandula, was killed at a Seattle crosswalk by a speeding police car going nearly 50 miles per hour over the speed limit. Police officer and Vice President of the Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) Daniel Auderer, who has a long history of racist harassment, illegal arrests, and violence, was caught on video joking about Jaahnavi’s death. “She was 26 anyway,” he said, misstating her age. “She had limited value.”
