Officer Daniel Auderer's body cam recorded him saying Jaahnavi Kandula's life had "limited value".

The footage was captured on his body camera while he had made a call to a colleague.

“But she is dead,” the officer was heard saying before laughing. “No, it’s a regular person. Yeah, just write a cheque,” he said, before laughing again.

“Eleven thousand dollars. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value,” he added.

The Office of Police Accountability - the agency that investigates police misconduct - had recommended his termination for unprofessional conduct and showing bias in recorded statements, the Seattle Times reported.

Jaahnavi Kandula was a graduate student at Northeastern University in Seattle.

The officer who rammed her with his patrol vehicle was going at 74mph (119km/h) and she was thrown more than 100ft (30m), US media reports said.

    I clicked the link and saw the book “Justified deadly force and the myth of systemic racism” and immediately knew the type of person we’re discussing. I totally understand your point on the matter better.
