DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — An Atlanta area grand jury on Thursday indicted a police officer who fatally shot an unarmed naked man on charges including felony murder, aggravated assault and violating oath of office.

The decision came after DeKalb County prosecutors presented their case against Officer Robert Olsen, who fatally shot Anthony Hill on March 9 while responding to a call of a naked man behaving erratically outside a suburban Atlanta apartment complex.

The family of the 27-year-old Hill says he was a U.S. Air Force veteran who struggled with mental health problems.

. . .

Olsen was indicted on two counts each of felony murder and violating oath of office and one count each of aggravated assault and making a false statement.

I am glad that some justice is being done. But, it doesn't make me less sad for Anthony Hill's family.

Ronnie "Star Wars" Reagan had such high approval ratings. I think that was one of the biggest problems. Reagan made greed cool and we are still suffering from that.
