Niles Meservey was shot seven times in the back.
Meade's lawyer claims that his client only fired because he feared for his life. But witnesses at the scene including a fellow officer say Meservey wasn't a threat because he was wedged up against a chain link fence when Meade fired through the car's rear window. Meade remains free without bail.

Why haven't we shut down traffic for this guy? Why don't we mourn and grieve over people killed by cops? Why don't we label them heroes?
