The secrecy surrounding Van Dyke’s incarceration lasted up until his final hours behind bars, with state prison officials refusing to disclose where or exactly when he was being released.

Watching the video, it looks justified. Even if he was unarmed and just faking it, you shouldn't fake such things when there's a bunch of angry cops looking at you.

Do you think 3 years in prison is a little lenient for murder?

They're saying the deceased was armed with a knife. If you watch the video, it looks like he was aiming a gun.
