A Seattle police oversight group has recommended that Daniel Auderer, the officer who was heard laughing and making insensitive remarks about an Indian woman’s death, be put on unpaid leave, according to reports. Driving the news: Auderer, who serves as vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG), is currently under investigation by the Office of Police Accountability (OPA) for his controversial comments about Jaahnavi Kandula, a 23-year-old graduate student who was fatally struck by a speeding police car in January.
