Guy ran over a random cop in retaliation. That's not the same thing bub.

The eye for an eye gangster shit happens daily.

From what I've gathered;

The man in the 2nd picture is Rodney Hinton Jr. He intentionally targeted and ran his car over a Cincinnati police deputy. Said deputy shot and killed the man's 16 year old son the day prior. The son, Ryan Hinton, was allegedly breaking into a car, and when the deputy arrived, Ryan attempted to put his hands up and run away. The deputy didnt scream or chase or try to taze Ryan. The deputy instantly fired on, shot, and killed Ryan Hinton.

Said deputy shot and killed the man's 16 year old son days prior.

Bit of a correction. He was brought to the police station to be shown the body cam footage of his son being shot by police and on his way home he purposefully ran over a cop that was directing traffic. It wasn't the same cop who shot his son.

The point, everyone, is to exact vengeance on those responsible. A member of the police force is not responsible for the entire force. If you do take justice into your own hands, either go for either the one who did it or the one who ordered it. Killing anyone else makes no sense and makes you a bad person.

Edit: out of curiosity I tried to see if the deputy who was the victim of revenge had a criminal history, but their identity is protected under Marsy’s Law, legislation meant to protect victims of crimes. This law also protects the one who shot Ryan Hinton, because apparently the killer cop is the victim.

Small correction: the deputy killed was not one of the deputies present at the killing of the son. https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/04/us/ohio-rodney-hinton-jr-arrest-hnk It was apparently deputy with ten years on the job who shot the son, while the deputy killed had 35 years.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

Well in his 35 years he probably did some nasty shit. ACAB remember.

[-] scintilla@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

ACAB but that doesn't mean we go to their level and start lynching all of them. That's what they want. They dream of the day that they can justly open fire on people with no one telling them it's unjustified.

Oh wait I just realised you're making this about race, rather than the subject, which is vengeance against corruption. Goddamnit my guy.

[-] TherapyGary 10 points 4 days ago

Yeah I support both of them, but I don't agree with OP's point here

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

If he got the guy who actually did it

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

I no longer care why people kill cops, or whether they deserve it. Cops have always justified their abuses by saying if the guy didn't do this crime, he probably did something else, so it doesn't matter.

That's how I see cops getting killed in retaliation. They deserve it for something.

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

Lol fuck yall saying he didnt get the right cop. All cops are racist fuckwads. Do I want them murdered? No. Would I let Hinton walk if I ended up on his jury? Yep, just as quickly as I would for Mangione.

[-] Random123@fedia.io 5 points 4 days ago

“All cops are racist”

Thats why youre wrong.

Idk who this guy is but if he killed random cops then hes really just any other dumbfuck and cant be compared to someone who did their simple research

Edit: sad story but hes no mangione sorry bud he just randomly killed a cop

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

I didnt say he was another Mangione. I said Id treat him the same for these two cases.

And yes, across the entire country, I understand the number of police means we have people of all types. Including actual good people without major prejudices or any hate in their heart, who want to make communties safer. Good on them.

And when people say all cops are bad, those decent cops know why. Every one of them works with racist, abusive, pieces of shit. They wanna make it better from the inside, god bless em. I hope more like them keep trying.

So yea, TLDR: acab. Dont bother me about someadem.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Those "decent" cops know who the troublemakers are, and they don't do anything about them. That's makes them complicit. If you aren't actively standing up to the corrupt cops, then you are a corrupt cop.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Yes, that's exactly how it works. You are either part of the solution or you are part of the problem. If you are allowing corrupt, violent, racist cops to operate in your precinct without demanding action, then you are complicit in their crimes.

In the first picture you can see the clown mayor Adam to the left escorting him, his face is partially cropped out.
