The two top officials in the Seattle police union were caught on tape with one of them laughing and joking about the death of a woman who was hit by a police car.
Officer Kevin Dave was speeding more than 50 miles over the limit in his Seattle Police Department patrol car without his siren last January when he struck and killed 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula, a master's student at Northeastern University. Her AirPods were recovered 100 feet down the road. Moments after the collision, Dave is seen on officer-worn bodycam footage speaking to another officer. "She was in the crosswalk; she saw me. She started running through the crosswalk —I slammed on my brakes—instead of staying back where she should." Months later, national outrage is growing in response to another Seattle police officer's comments regarding the incident, also caught on bodycam.
