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.

    It’s partly because of how they’re trained, Killology, and partly because these are people policing us from outside of Seattle.

    If you live in the Seattle area, you surely know that a lot of people who don’t live in the metro area really resent Seattlites. They’re not really clear about why. I guess for being progressive.

    Not much of the police force lives in the city proper. So we’re being policed by outsiders who dislike us to begin with.
