Justice for Jaahnavi and Seattles New War on Drugs Activist Class
-
- Politics
In the heart of the neoliberal capital, Seattle, The Activist Class takes a closer look at the recent PR nightmare that the Seattle Police Department has found itself embroiled in. First, we delve into a leaked body cam video that sent shockwaves through the country. The footage captures the Vice President of Seattle's Police Union laughing callously in the aftermath of a tragic incident involving a South Asian woman named Jaahnavi Kandula, who was fatally struck by a police cruiser. We then turn our attention to a contentious Drug Bill passed by the City Council that threatens to revive the War on Drugs. This legislation will re-criminalize public drug use, setting the stage for a troubling sequel to an already disastrous policy. Lastly, we bring you exclusive audio evidence, via THE STRANGER, of an off-duty Seattle police officer using racial slurs to verbally harass his Chinese neighbor. Class is in Session
