The development likely explains why the officer hasn't been charged, despite public demands. But that pressure threatens this officer's future.
Dashcam video and witness testimony clear the Seattle Police Department officer driving a vehicle that struck and killed a pedestrian earlier this year. It likely explains why the officer hasn’t been charged, despite demands from community members and anti-police activists. But that pressure threatens this officer’s future.
Investigators questioned three witnesses and they were all “similar in nature and no glaring discrepancies between them,” according to the case investigation report. All three confirmed the officer’s lights were flashing and that the siren chirped. Two of the witnesses helped piece together what happened to Kandula.Witness J.K. said Kandula “didn’t seem to be aware of the car” when she crossed the street, though concedes he did not see how she initially crossed the crosswalk. Witness M.R.
The investigation used frame-by-frame analysis to determine Kandula started to run across the crosswalk when the officer was driving in her direction. The report concludes, “Just before the collision, Kandula transitioned from a walk to a run.” The officer hit the brakes and appeared to quickly turn the steering wheel to avoid collision, but was unsuccessful.
“Additionally, the position of the portions of both detachable rubber tips that are inserted into the ear being pulled outward indicated that they came out in a manner not consistent with someone casually pulling them out,” the case report states. “It would be expected that if the AirPods were stored in the provided storage case at the time of the collision, the storage case would have been found in the roadway.
The investigator concluded that “it is more likely than not that Kandula wasn’t able to accurately estimate the speed of the Ford based on its lights until it got closer to the intersection.” Those same critics also said a cop has no business responding to an overdose call. After all, do cops have any expertise during an overdose? Actually, yes — this officer is a certified emergency medical technician. And he was responding to a request to provide assistance. Often, police accompany medics because there’s been a rise in attacks during emergency calls.The case report was completed in May.
