In a conversation with Mike Solan, the head of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Seattle Police Department officer and SPOG vice president Daniel Auderer minimized the killing of 23-year-old student Jaahnavi Kandula by police officer Kevin Dave and joked that she had “limited value” as a “regular person” who was only 26 years old.

In fact, as we reported exclusively, Dave was driving 74 miles an hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and struck Kandula while she was attempting to cross the street in a marked and well-lighted crosswalk.

    You’re programmed with authoritarian ignorance. You don’t build a civilization by creating laws that oppress people into behaving. You build a civilization that works from the ground up so that people don’t feel the need to kill each other for food and shelter, or the drugs they numb themselves with.
