Murder?

I couldn't agree more. Sgt. Michael Olsen deserves to be fired after showing such a lack of good judgment. Police officers are supposed to be an example in our society, so when one cop shows such a lack of respect for the law it makes the entire police department look bad. It looks like Austin really did pick the right officer for the chief of Police. But shouldn't Olsen spend some time in jail for murder? The only punishment he is receiving is the loss of his job. Shouldn't he have to go to trial?

But one has to think: what if killing Brown was an accident? What if, by taking him to trial, we're only twisting the knife already in his gut? Can we, as Austinites, live with that hanging over our heads?
