Officer Daniel Auderer's body cam recorded him saying Jaahnavi Kandula's life had "limited value".

A US police officer has been fired for making “vile” and “callous” comments about an Indian student’s death last year.

The Seattle Police Department has fired officer Daniel Auderer for comments he made about Jaahnavi Kandula’s death in January, The Seattle Times reported.

Kandula, 23, was fatally struck down by another police vehicle while she was crossing a street near her university.

Mr Auderer - who was responding to the incident - was recorded saying that the Indian student’s life had “limited value” and that the city should “just write a cheque”.

The footage was captured on his body camera while he had made a call to a colleague.

    Hey now, he might have to go as far as Federal Way. Could you imagine how painful that is? Having to work in Federal Way?

      But it would be waaaay easier for him to shoot minorities.

        Sure, but if he wants to get away with it up here in Seattle, all he has to do is run them over with his SUV.
