Seattle Police Officer Daniel Auderer has been fired for making derogatory and callous remarks about the death of Indian graduate student Jaahnavi Kandula, who was fatally struck by another officer's vehicle in a crosswalk. Auderer's comments, captured on body camera footage, were described as 'vile,' 'derogatory,' and 'disturbing,' leading to his termination by interim Police Chief Sue Rahr.
