The officer whose controversial statements about the death of 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula were captured on body cam video said his comments were shared without context, according to a letter he sent to the Office of Police Accountability (OPA). The Seattle Police Officer's Guild (SPOG) shared an Aug. 8 letter Ofc. Daniel Auderer sent to the OPA after the body cam footage was sent to department leadership. SPOG released the letter Friday, four days after Seattle police released the body cam video to the public. SPOG said Auderer was asking OPA for a "rapid adjudication," which is an expedited employee misconduct investigation. Auderer wrote that he was speaking sarcastically to SPOG President Mike Solan about the way lawyers negotiate the value of human life in incidents like Kandula's death. Kandula was struck and killed by a Seattle police officer who was on his way to a call in January. Kandula was walking through a crosswalk and was hit by an officer going 63 miles per hour in a 25 mile-per-hour zone.
