TL;DR Summary

The family of Jaahnavi Kandula, a graduate student who died after being struck by a Seattle police officer, has spoken out after body camera footage emerged of another officer joking about the incident. The video captured a conversation between the officer and a colleague, in which they made insensitive comments about Kandula's death. The Seattle Police Department has released a statement expressing concern over the nature of the comments and has launched an investigation. The Seattle Office of Police Accountability has also opened an investigation. The Seattle Police Officers Guild has acknowledged the outrage but claims the video lacks context. A rally demanding justice for Kandula was held, and the investigation is ongoing.
