In a conversation with Mike Solan, the head of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Seattle Police Department officer and SPOG vice president Daniel Auderer minimized the killing of 23-year-old student Jaahnavi Kandula by police officer Kevin Dave and joked that she had “limited value” as a “regular person” who was only 26 years old.

In fact, as we reported exclusively, Dave was driving 74 miles an hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and struck Kandula while she was attempting to cross the street in a marked and well-lighted crosswalk.

    Cops show up after the crime. The law and the cops don’t prevent the rape. If you want less rapists, you have to address the problem at the systemic level, and that means changing the factors that lead up to rape. What would that entail? Dismantling toxic gender roles, increasing community, enabling access to therapy and mentor programs, giving people hope that they can determine their own futures, creating a safe space for sex workers in society, and other actions that stop the festering hatred and social rot that leads to rape.

    That will never happen as long as people like you are satisfied with state sponsored violence to hide the problems in the private-prison-slavery-industrial complex.

      You’re an idiot. Rich people rape and commit other crimes all the time and they have access to anything they could ever need. Epstein had a goddamn island he flew girls out on his private plane for it. People in countries with better social services and sex workers still experience crime as well.

        Not all poverty is monetary. Their wealth is a symptom of a poverty of mind, soul, and conscience.

          And you don’t blame them for that? Nothing is anyone’s own fault? Every moral failing is because of external factors? Or are you just making up bullshit meanings to the word poverty so you don’t have to address how wrong you are? Some people are just evil, it doesn’t matter what society they’re in, they will do evil shit. This is why we need a justice system to identify and dispose of them.

            I do blame them for that, and for enforcing a system that worsens their own mental illness. I’m not sure where you got the idea that I’m defending horrific actions.

              You have been saying this whole time that it is societies fault that people rape, murder, steal, etc. Now you’re saying it’s their own responsibility and they are also enforcing the system who’s laws they are are breaking?? Do you even read what you’re typing?

                The only thing questionable is your reading comprehension. Our society exacerbates these problems by addressing everything at the symptom level of punishing individuals, which allows root causes to be ignored. Extreme wealth and extreme poverty are both root causes, but the only people to blame are those with the power to make changes. In other words the rich and powerful. They keep us in poverty and ignorance so they can stay in wealth and ignorance. They’re still responsible.

                  Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Having a shitty life doesn’t excuse victimizing others.

                    Where did I try and excuse it? It happens, and certain circumstances make it worse. You can cry about who should or shouldn’t do what or you can make the fucking changes.
