Winstrom told FOX17 he was not surprised by what had happened at the meeting.

\"I've been in this situation before, where, people want to scream and yell,\" said Winstrom. \"It looked to me like it was a group of people who wanted to vent.\"

Winstrom added, \"Sometimes people want to sit at the table, the seat at the table, they want their voice to be heard and they want to have a discussion and then other times they just want to vent. It sounded to me after the first couple of speakers people just wanted to scream and yell.\"

Lyoya, 26, was shot by an officer following a struggle outside a house after he was pulled over for a faulty license plate, according to body cam footage and police.

Amid the struggle, the officer was able to force Lyoya to the ground, shouting, \"Stop resisting,\" \"Let go\" and \"Drop the Taser\" before he shot Lyoya in the back of the head, according to video footage.

Earlier this week, police named Christopher Schurr as the officer who shot Lyoya.

Protesters are demanding that Schurr be arrested and officers get their own liability insurance. They also want Kent County prosecutor Chris Becker to remove himself from deciding whether to charge Schurr, according to MLive.

Grand Rapids Police did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
