Seattle Police Department Fires Officer Kevin Dave for Killing of Jaahnavi Kandula

Seattle Police Department (SPD) Interim Chief of Police Sue Rahr announced she'd fired SPD Officer Kevin Dave in an internal email Monday. The decision comes as the result of a January 2023 incident in which Dave struck and killed 23-year-old college student Jaahnavi Kandula while she was crossing a crosswalk.

Another commenter explains how specifically hiring transfer police instead of training new recruits has a bad history in Seattle. They questioned whether SPD would continue hiring cops with dirty pasts.

Kevin Dave, the officer who killed Jaahnavi Kandula, had mounting complaints and didn't even have a valid drivers license when he was hired using one of these bonus programs. 🫠

Seattle's city council is the most conservative in decades. That means we protest at their house, WEEKLY.

From the coming ShotSpotter roll out, no charges for Jaahnavi Kandula's killer cop, displaced homeless people and coming austerity budget to, you guessed it, fund even MORE cops there's never been more reasons to protest this inept council.

Also of note, it is against the law in WA state to operate any emergency vehicle in a way which further endangers property or life.

Not sure how King County prosecutors didn't know about RCW 46.61.035.

It's as if they ignore the law when a cop is breaking it.

Officer Kevin Dave did not fully activate his siren until it was too late for either he or Jaahnavi to avoid the crash🧐

This was a hit and run committed by a Seattle police officer which resulted in Jaahnavi's death.

Not only did Kevin Dave not stop after dragging Jaahnavi's body, he likely did not have his lights or siren on.

Attached: 1 video In these recordings the commanding officer can be heard arriving on scene. Within four minutes he orders all arriving officers to remain in their squad cars. Moments later he orders all body worn cameras be turned off. It's clear from the audio the officer who caused the accident did not stop. Dispatch works quickly to help him contact a union representative before he is interviewed. #JaahnaviKandula #ACAB #Seattle #waroncars
