Months later, footage was released of Seattle Police Officers Guild Vice President Daniel Auderer joking about Kandula’s death over the phone with SPOG President Mike Solan.

In that recording, Auderer can be heard laughing as he referred to Kandula as “a regular person,” going on to say, “Just write a check -- $11,000, she was 26 anyway, she had limited value.”

Welcome to Washington, where the cops routinely get away with murder even despite allegedly progressive politics.

Those Tacoma cops getting off on the murder of Manny Ellis has to be the worst miscarriage of justice I've seen in a good few years.
