Fatal Shooting by Sergeant

Recently, a fellow classmate of mine wrote and article about a fatal shooting by an A.P.D. sergeant. Sgt. Michael Olsen was fired last week for fatally shooting a man(Kevin Brown)during a foot pursuit outside an East Austin nightclub in June. Olsen unnecessarily fired a second shot into his back as he lay facedown before giving him a chance to comply with an order to show his hands. He said he fired when Brown after he reached toward his waist, as if drawing a weapon. No weapon was actually found on Brown. My class mate went ahead and wrote it was good judgement by the police department to fire Olsen. I agree went my classmate. What Olsem did was bad judgement by his part altogether. The police department should avoid having to take a shot at all times. If theres anything an officer can do before actually having to take a shot should be used. Officers like Olsen make the AustinPolice Department give it its bad name. That is one less corrupt officer off our streets.
