In another 2018 recording of Meade's comments on law enforcement and faith, he described his assignment with the U.S. Marshal's task force as "hunting people."

Meade told an audience of fellow Free Will Baptist Pastors at a conference in 2018 about his job looking for fugitives.

“I hunt people," he said, garnering laughter. "It’s a great job, I love it."

“Every now and then you have to actually use force,” Meade said in the video, called “Connecting with the Community."

“We don’t go around looking for it because we don’t have to," he said. "Plenty of people out there will give you that opportunity ..."

He says that people say Jesus said to turn the other cheek, but he responds by telling them to read the Bible. He said Jesus isn't talking about physically getting slapped in the side of the face.

"There is release in our job that, righteously, we can actually have a use of force," Meade said.

One fool police union fella saying 'Justice is not an end, it's a process.' No, Justice is an outcome, an appropriate one.

Another, a lawyer for the miscreant, I believe, saying 'location of wounds is not always indicative'. Five out of six shots in the back indicates something, and something damned obvious --- that the dead man was shot from behind, by surprise, at a time when he could pose no conceivable immediate threat to the murderous bint who pulled the trigger. Six times, probably in less than twelve seconds.

No paywall.

Meade is NOT a Columbus City Cop, who have their separate issues on shooting POC.
