  1. After a VERY long wait for justice news broke this week that Jaahnavi Kandula's surviving family will receive a $29 Million dollar settlement. PublicCola broke the news earlier this week. Dirty cop Kevin Dave who killed Jaahnavi was fired last year and is still attempting to sue the city for wrongful termination.

  3. Killer cop Kevin Dave has finally been fired from the Seattle police department.

    Officer Dave killed Jaahnavi Kandula while she crossed a street in SLU. Dave was driving 75mph to answer a medical call that didn't require police presence and was already being handled by fire department. Dave not have his siren or lights on. Ofc dave was also a well known terrible driver with many tickets.

  4. Another commenter explains how specifically hiring transfer police instead of training new recruits has a bad history in Seattle. They questioned whether SPD would continue hiring cops with dirty pasts.

    Kevin Dave, the officer who killed Jaahnavi Kandula, had mounting complaints and didn't even have a valid drivers license when he was hired using one of these bonus programs. 🫠

  5. Seattle's city council is the most conservative in decades. That means we protest at their house, WEEKLY.

    From the coming ShotSpotter roll out, no charges for Jaahnavi Kandula's killer cop, displaced homeless people and coming austerity budget to, you guessed it, fund even MORE cops there's never been more reasons to protest this inept council.

  6. CW: Police chases, emergency vehicle operation

    Medic One drives the speed limit for safety. Every time they went to my grandfather's because of a heart attack, they did not drive 74 MPH. Every time they took him to the hospital they did not drive 74 MPH.

  7. This was a hit and run committed by a Seattle police officer which resulted in Jaahnavi's death.

    Not only did Kevin Dave not stop after dragging Jaahnavi's body, he likely did not have his lights or siren on.

  8. 09-23-2023 - #Seattle WA

    Dozens of #protesters showed up at the Seattle International District Union Station on Saturday, for a planned march to the Seattle Police Officers Guild #SPOG, demanding JUSTICE for #JaahnaviKandula #JusticeforJaahnavi

    Relatives of victims of the Seattle #Police Department spoke before the beginning of the march, while car and bike brigades began organizing in the background. Pictured directly above and behind the parking lot where the car brigade was organizing, (3) Seattle Police officers are seen looking down at protesters. Not-journalist Jonathan Choe was also buzzing around in skin-colored flip flops with plaid shorts, expertly recording footage using a cell phone.

    After marching down 5th Ave S, the group changed over to 4th Ave S. While largely uneventful of serious problems, a continuous stream of vehicles traveling south on 4th Ave S drove into oncoming traffic to go around the #protest at one point including a full size #Darigold semi-truck #281100, with trailer, middle-aged white female driver, putting many at risk.

    While most drivers behind the protest were not a problem, another middle-aged white woman with braided hair and a wooden cross swinging from their rearview mirror, in a silver Subaru Crosstrek or Outback, repeatedly and aggressively accelerated toward the rear of the car brigade, while honking and stomping their brakes over and over. This went on for some time.

    Also at an eastbound facing intersection a Seattle Department of Transportation #SDOT truck #34202 XMT61730D with trailer purposely laid on a very loud airhorn for what seemed like at least a full minute, in an attempt to disrupt the march to SPOG.

    After arriving at SPOG #activists and victims spoke of the Seattle Police Department #SPD and other local city departments, taking turns using megaphones speaking about tragedies involving loved ones. Victims and activists voiced calls for police accountability and plans to functionally transform police interactions. Candles were assembled in the shape of a heart on the ground in front of SPOG but had difficulty staying lit, partially due to the on-off rain that was occurring.

    Meanwhile a #drone appeared above the gathering, possibly a DJI Mavic. It was speculated to be either from SPOG or Not-journalist Jonathan Choe. Then an unknown police or media #helicopter circled from above a countless amount of times, creating a distraction for some. We believe this to be the same helicopter that kept making passes above Union Station earlier. Also an unknown-to-us media company continued to hover around with large cameras, which eventually created a disturbance.

    At the beginnings of getting dark with increasing rain, the march began heading back northbound on 4th Ave S, and was largely similar to what occurred when previously traveling southbound. Albeit what seemed like less traffic due to diminishing sunlight. While expected honks occurred from some #motorists at one point a female driver in what we believe was a newer dark colored KIA sedan asked what the protest was about. About 4-5 minutes later the driver became irate and started creating a scene, although nothing serious occurred. With the sun fully down and increasing rain, the march ended not far from the Union Station on 4th Ave S. The car and bike brigades went their separate ways, and protesters dispersed into the dark Seattle streets.

    09/25 edit: Added additional protesters photo and additional photo of King County Transit Service Supervisor SUV. This SUV was generally ahead of marchers by about a city block. Unclear purpose as they didn't seem to manage anything.

  9. For at least the third time in the last week and a half a protest was held in Seattle to urge for the firing of Seattle cop Dan Auderer. Auderer has already been the cause of over $2M worth of legal costs due to prior instances of misconduct.

    Who is this deeply rotten cop? None other than VP of the police union.

  10. In Seattle a protest is now heading to the Police Officers Guild. This protest caps off a week of several demonstrations in the wake of two Seattle police officers being caught in separate instances of anti-asian hate.

  11. Months after Jaahnavi Kandula’s death, Seattle Mayor and Police Chief issue apology

    The statement was reportedly released after an hour-and-a-half-long meeting at the City Hall with representatives of the South Asian communities in Seattle.

  12. CW: Really upsetting comments from Seattle police union

    “In a statement released Friday, Seattle’s police union says a video of its vice president joking after the death of 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula lacks context.”

    LACKS CONTEXT?

    LACKS CONTEXT.

    WHAT. THE. FUCK.

  13. Kshama Sawant, other Seattle leaders call for action after cop mocks Kandula's death

    Mumbai-born Kshama Sawant, a prominent Indian-origin Seattle council member, has called for an elected police accountability system after a recent bodycam video of a police officer mocking an Indian student's death by a police patrol vehicle in January sparked massive outrage.

  14. @indianewswatch

    It's even worse:

    "Shortly after saying “she’s dead”, Auderer laughs and says, “It’s a regular person," referring to Jaahnavi. He then says, “Just write a check — $11,000, she was 26 anyway, she had limited value.”

    The regular person comment is a dead giveaway. Contempt for civilians is an ingrained part of police culture.

  15. CW: Cops murdering people, Seattle

    Cops are investigating a cop who, during his investigation of another cop who had hit a pedestrian while going *74mph* in a 25mph zone, said, "She was 26 anyway. She had limited value." At this point, they didn't even know whether the victim would survive or not.

    There is no reforming an occupying force that sees the public who pays their lavish salaries and perks as disposable trash without value.

  17. Seattle police watch dog Divestspd published the name of Jaahnavi's killer, Officer Kevin Dave. SPD has since confirmed Dave was the officer behind the wheel.

    Protesters and families in #Seattle joined today in #solidarity for the latest victims of #police violence and the recent tragic death of #JaahnaviKandula

    Say their names!

    Conservatively on average in #America police killed at least 100 people a month in 2022, but that number doesn't include other law enforcement involved deaths.

    Families, activists and protesters took turns sharing stories, outrage, sorrow and action plans for local communities.

    Jaahnavi Kandula was recently killed while in a crosswalk by a Seattle Police Department persuit vehicle. So far #SPD has released few details on the incident.

    Even today at the same crosswalk where Jaahnavi passed we witnessed more than several vehicles failing to stop for those who were crossing or waiting to cross.

    Included in today's event were stories of a very long list of victims of police violence, the majority within just the last few years.

    While different strategy or action ideas were brought up one thing was clear; many believe the overwhelming amount of funds given to police departments should instead be invested into communities. Another item among discussion was law enforcement historically referring to increased training as a proposed solution to America's police killing problems.

    Flyers and information on upcoming events were shared, see ALT text of images for more info.
