A former Seattle Police Department Officer has filed a tort claim against the City of Seattle for $20-million dollars after his firing for his body camera comments on a woman's death.
A fired Seattle police officer is suing the city for wrongful termination and damages after he was terminated for bodycam video showing what appears to be him joking and laughing after a woman was struck and killed by a patrol car. Former Seattle police officer Daniel Auderer filed a $20 million tort complaint against the city of Seattle for damages weeks after he was fired for his behavior following the death of Jaahnavi Kandula, a 23-year-old Northeastern University student.
Following his comments and recent firing after an investigation, Auderer maintained that his comments were taken out of context. In the complaint, Auderer said in part, 'Seattle PD leaked false information concerning wrongfully initiated disciplinary proceedings as well as my personal information.
