      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.

            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.
