Yes, it looks bad. Local Miami Florida media is running this story in its mindset of “white cops are all bad”.
Cops see a lot of gruesome stuff and they respond in macabre ways. This guy’s cavalier attitude about human life, especially one at the expense of one of his own, is sickening.
The context of that is a private conversation. Cops get through difficult situations by making jokes about them. Nobody could do the job of a cop and remain somber throughout the entire day.
The ones who want constant somberness from cops are usually least equipped to do that kind of work.
Isn’t Northeastern University in Boston?
Disgusting. He should go to prison and Seattle should pay millions in settlement.
Pales in comparison to Maui.
Just one more example of your tax dollars at work. These days it is more bad than good just about everywhere it seems.
This is exactly why cops shouldn’t have to wear body cameras. Cops are numb to events like this. It’s like Hawkeye Pierce on MASH. They joke non stop to get through the day. I suspect if all of us wore body cameras we would be recorded saying stupid, insensitive stuff.
Seattle - Loser City.
Cop is obviously at fault. But given how many times I’ve seen clueless pedestrians cross busy streets without looking because they have a crosswalk and the legal right-of-way despite the physics, I would bet that Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, living in Seattle no less, had a bad habit of not looking both ways, was probably staring at her phone and is partially responsible for her own death.
The officer was heard on separate bodycam telling a responding officer, ‘Lights were on. I was chirping the sirens…she was in the crosswalk’
Not this guy but the cop who hit her. I do not understand that “chirping”thing lots of cops do. Make a commitment and turn on the damned siren loud and proud like firemen do.
He did it in private inside his car talking to someone else. You see violent and tragic death almost daily and you either have to go crazy or have a little gallows humor. It’s childish to expect cops to emote and be somber and mournful about everything among themselves. Same goes for the military.
That check should be in the tens of millions and should come from the police pension fund.

Democrat-run city, Democrat-run state.
He was also heard uttering: 'I mean, he was going 50 (MPH). That's not out of control. That's not reckless for a trained driver.'
The cop driving the car, officer Kevin Dave, was in fact doing at 74mph in a 25mph zone before he slammed into Jaahnavi Kandula.
Auderer is a drug-recognition officer, who was assigned to determine whether Dave was under the influence. He concluded that his colleague was sober.
That’s the way some people deal with shock.
Frickin smart ass cops. They think their God’s gift to society.
We had one run punch his patrol car through a warehouse wall at 90mph when he was on funeral procession detail. it only caused $750,000 damage and the cop got a day off with pay.
