Improper/Unsafe Turn?
Vehicular homicide?
Other?
It sounds pretty cut and dry... Citations/charges should be filed. Let the court/jury decide.

I know if I went and ran someone down, or plowed into someone killing them, I'm not getting by with a slap on the wrist.

The lack of charges is simply cops giving a break to one of their own, trying extend their jurisdiction to that of Judge and Jury...
A normal traffic accident involves no less negligence than firing a rifle into the air on New Year's Eve.
