The Seattle police officer who joked about the death of 23-year-old Indian student Jaahnavi Kandula after she was struck by a speeding cop car has been pulled from patrol duty. Officer Daniel Auderer dismissed implications of fault and called Kandula a "regular person" with "limited value" in bodycam footage. The department confirmed Auderer is now in a non-operational role amid reviews into officer Kevin Dave's actions in fatally hitting Kandula at 119 kmph in a 25 mph zone. The removal follows community demands and the Indian consulate terming the handling of her death "deeply troubling."
