Officer Jason Van Dyke, 37, left Cook County Jail looking downcast and pale on Monday evening, having been locked up sinceNovember 24, when prosecutors charged him with first degree murder after he gunned down 17 year old Laquan McDonald in October 2014.
His bond had been set at $1.5million earlier in the day, meaning he needed to post $150,000 to get out.
The police union president said union members were helping Van Dyke's family raise the amount needed to get him out of jail.
Attorney Dan Herbert says Van Dyke is pleased the judge set a bond amount after ordering him held without bond last week.
He argued that his client was not a flight risk, had significant ties to the community and planned to fight the charges.
Herbert says Van Dyke is 'very scared about the consequences he is facing'.
He also says Van Dyke 'absolutely' can defend his actions in court.
Herbert says he has information that isn't yet public,

A judge had ordered the video released the previous week. On Tuesday, Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said she had decided a few weeks earlier to charge Van Dyke with murder and was planning to announce charges in a month.
But knowing the intense public anger that the sight of the 'chilling' video would generate, she announced the charges before the video's release in an effort to encourage calm.
Van Dyke's attorney last week reassured the judge that Van Dyke is not a flight risk, explaining that he has deep ties to the community, lives with his wife and two children in Chicago and does not possess a passport.
In the audio free video, McDonald can be seen walking down the middle of a four lane street. He appears to veer away from two officers as they emerge from a vehicle,

One of the officers, Van Dyke, opens fire from close range. McDonald spins around and crumples to the ground. The officer continues to fire.
Van Dyke's attorney, Dan Herbert, maintains that his client feared for his life, acted lawfully and that the video does not tell the whole story. Police have said that McDonald was carrying a knife and an autopsy revealed that he had PCP, a hallucinogenic drug,

Protesters have marched on Chicago's streets since the video's release. The largest and most disruptive protest blocked off part of Michigan Avenue in the downtown shopping district known as the Magnificent Mile on Black Friday, preventing access to big name stores on what is traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year.
