The former Seattle Police Department officer who was caught on body camera video making light of an incident where an officer fatally struck a pedestrian
The former Seattle Police Department officer who was caught on body camera video making light of an incident where an officer fatally struck a pedestrian insisted his comments were taken out of context.
In September 2023, Solan insisted he and Auderer were remarking on "how the city is going to have to pay out a ton of money to the family."During Monday's radio appearance, Auderer said his comments were never meant to make fun of Kandula or her loved ones. Instead, Auderer insisted his comments were meant to mock the attorneys hired by the City of Seattle to look into the case. Auderer said he believed those lawyers would attempt to avoid reaching a settlement with Kandula's family. As a result, he said that he and Solan joked about their belief that the legal process would be stymied by certain legal officials.Despite this, he insisted his department-issued body camera only captured one side of that conversation.
“It has been quite striking to me the number of people I talk with in this community who feel the dehumanizing laughter was more disgraceful and disturbing than the death of Miss Kandula," Rahr wrote. "There is no coming back from such a betrayal of that sacred trust.”In Monday's interview, Auderer said his termination caught him by total surprise.
