I agree. Somebody wants him gone, and has felt this way long before this recording was given to the media.
“Daniel Auderer is a vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, the largest police labor union in the Northwest. He is also cited as a drug-recognition expert who has worked in the force for over two decades. Auderer is a 49-year-old Lacey Washington Native who graduated from North Thurston High School.”
I didn’t realize that he was a union grifter. You are right someone probably is trying to get rid of him, but chances are since he is a union insider the City will have to pay who knows how much more, and nothing will happen to him.
