Seattle council member calls for firing of cop Daniel Auderer, who was filmed after deadly crash saying Jaahnavi Kandula had 'limited value'

A Seattle city councilwoman is calling for the firing of cop Daniel Auderer, the man filmed saying a college student run over by a police cruiser had 'limited value' - though he claims the remarks have been taken out of context.

Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, was run down by a speeding police SUV as she was crossing a heavily marked crosswalk near the Seattle graduate college campus in the South Lake Union neighborhood on January 23. 

Detective Daniel Auderer - who was not in the car that hit the student, but was responding to the scene - said police can just 'write a check' after killing the master's student and that her life had 'limited value.'

Councilwoman Tammy Morales, a Democrat who promotes criminal justice reform, wants Auderer fired by Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz.
