Since turning himself into police custody on Nov. 24, following murder charges in the death of Laquan McDonald, former Chicago officer Jason Van Dyke was grated bail. As of Monday, Nov. 30, was released from police custody after posting 10% of his $1.5 million bail.

A judge set the Van Dyke’s bail at $1.5 million after reviewing the dash-cam footage that shows the now former cop shooting McDonald 16 times. Prosecutors argued that the man with a horrible criminal history of his own be held without bail, while his attorney, Daniel Herbert, argued that his client was no flight risk; the latter got their wish. Van Dyke shoved up $150,000 to be released.

McDonald was said to be carrying a knife, which was folded in his hand (still doesn’t explain 16 shots). An autopsy reports explains that the 17-year-old had PCP in his system at the time of the shooting, so we will see where this goes from here.
