Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio said in a statement on Friday that he had been briefed on the investigation, adding that he was “sickened by what appears to be an intentional act of violence.”
We’re all sickened by the intentional violence of police murdering whoever the fuck they want.
Weird, there’s two acts of violence in the article, but they say it in the singular form… Wonder what that’s about.
You cannot commit violence against filthy suspected criminals in their eyes, they are not considered human and have no rights.
if only they hadn’t murdered his son, they’d still have a deputy. Sounds like they didn’t understand that when a man loses everything and has nothing left to lose, he loses it.
Suddenly a whole lot of terrorist organizations make a lot more sense. Now that I have a family, including a son, nothing would radicalize me faster than some cop or higher fucking with them. If I lose them, so too do they lose a pacifist civilian.
The prosecutor’s office has contacted faith leaders, asking them to encourage their congregants to “let the process work,” she said.
What, the process where cops kill with disregard and get their actions get rewarded?
The process of sending “immigrants” to CECOT without due process or judicial overview.
According to the son was in a stolen vehicle, and ran away with a gun in his hand before being shot and killed.
The father after seeing the body cam video went out and killed a deputies who was directing traffic.
The article doesn’t say whether the deputy was involved in the shooting, but it’s implied he wasn’t.
The article, but frankly also the responses here, leave me with a lot of ethical questions. How is this not just incredibly tragic for everyone involved? How can you judge the police’s handling of the situation that resulted in the killing of the son as absolutely unjustified based on what was in the article, and how can you be happy that a seemingly innocent person was killed by the father? I’m as sceptical about the police as the next person, ACAB and all, but it’s a bit disappointing to see some of the reactions here, based on the information in the article. Perhaps I missed something and this was a George Floyd type situation? And it was the deputy who killed the son who was killed?
How can you judge the police’s handling of the situation that resulted in the killing of the son as absolutely unjustified based on what was in the article?
To start with, by not judging it in a vacuum.
I commend you for wrestling with the ethics, but be careful what you take for granted. A kid is dead, and a father is likely looking around at how police misconduct has been handled, even before a fascist takeover of our federal government, and concluding that justice is not on offer to him or his kind unless he returns some measure of balance to the scales.
This is wrong, it’s tragic all around, but stuff like this will continue until there is real justice to be had.
well for starters we dont beleive the police account of the sons killing. Cops lie and bully as part of their job and are held to no professional standards of conduct whatsoever, so why should any of beleive their narrative of what happened? The cops story sounds like self serving bullshit to me.
This is a lot of words to say you think what those police you rail against do is ok. Either this man knew the officer was the one who killed his son and decided to take his own justice or he had no idea and picked an available target because they were there.
Either way it’s gross and so are you, and a lot of other people in this thread are too.
Of course there’s tragedy all around in this situation, this is neither the first or last example of dysfunctional law enforcement.
In a first step, maybe the son was in a stolen vehicle. Maybe they were running away. Neither is an offence tied with a death penalty, and especially not without trial. What if they’d been kidnapped or coerced?
Now to the tricky part, with media telling of people disappearing in the streets, or just increasing violence, being armed isn’t unreasonable. And possibly even legal. Not subject to the death penalty, and not without trial.
If they were running away, they’re not endangering the police - why were they killed? Not in enforcing the law, not in self defence.
There’s plenty of reason for a relative to feel injustice has been done. And it’s well known the police systematically avoid and deflect correcting such misjustice, as well as harass those seeking that.
It’s not a far reach to take matters in your own hands, especially in your grief finding you’ve lost what to live for.
Mind you, if the police were doing their job properly, they wouldn’t neither feel the need to shoot-to-kill, nor would they be targeted by vigilante retaliation.
.ml users siding with the police once again, I guess this is the logical endpoint of being MLs
lol what? That’s such a gross mischaracterization of .ml users it borders on libel. If anything, they’d be in the ACAB camp.
How you got that from my comment is beyond understanding. Did you read what I wrote? I was only commenting that based on the events as described in the article it is a little disappointing to read the gleefully and happy comments that an implied innocent person was killed by a grieving father.
As others have pointed out, the police in the US cannot be trusted. I do not trust the police in the US. I believe the militarisation of the police and the impunity with which they operate are a danger to the society. If anything I believe the police should be held to higher standards than the general population, not lower as I believe is the case. It’s a fucked up institution and stuff must change.
But none of that justifies randomly killing someone. If that makes you think I’m on the side of the police then 🤷♂️
I’m on .ml and I fucking hate cops. You’ll never see me concern trolling on behalf of some dead pigs.
Indeed, I want to see the video and who was the police officer involved in the shooting.
Well, I would prefer not to see, but I get what you’re saying.
Freak accident, weird
This is just wrong. He should have used a high powered rifle to maintain his anonymity and taken out not just the cop who killed his son but all of the cop’s superiors, prosecutors and judges who failed to hold the cop accountable. Glad he got the bastard though. #ACAB
He didn’t take out the cop that killed his son, he drove into a random deputy on traffic duty.
And this incident happened the morning after his son was killed - although I agree there’s never much hope for the system to police itself, this was too soon for any prosecutors or judges or anyone to have failed to hold the cop accountable
You think the cop might have been held accountable?! In the USA?
I’d like to think that I wouldn’t kill anyone, but I haven’t just watched someone kill my son when his back was turned.
The article doesn’t say that the cop directing traffic wasn’t the cop who killed his son. It just hints at it.
One cop is as good as another. Cops murder the poor indiscriminately, but they pay special attention to brown and black people. I think cops who use lethal force should automatically lose their job. If the force is found to be justified, they don’t go to prison and if it isn’t justified they should get a life sentence. One day is enough to fire someone.
There is no more accountabilty for policemen in us. The diaper don made sure of it.
Not guilty.
There was a time when I would have thought this was terrible. That time has passed. Its clear the police allow these malfunctioning humans in their ranks and the courts are unwilling to punish them. I know if I was on that jury I couldn’t convict that man.
That should be a standard reaction.
It would mean there are 1000 less fascist pigs per year.
Here, an MSM approved headline:
A killer cop involved in the murder of someone’s son, appears to have been involved in a fatal car crash that ended their life that happen to belong to the father murdered son. The Hamilton County PD seem content in prosecuting the man whose’s vehicle found to have been involved in the crash as a homocide, instead of a tragic accident. The name of the killer cop has not been released in fear of further retaliation by the community.
The owner of the vehicle is accepting legal defend donations at 27054750810.
Jury nullification would be perfect for this case
Justice is served.
Not until the jury decides to acquire on ethical grounds.
Nullification
Chief Theetge said that city police officers responded to a residential cul-de-sac on Thursday, where they found a car that had been reported stolen in northern Kentucky.
One of the four people, identified by the authorities as Ryan Hinton, had a gun in his hand, Chief Theetge said.
the officer called out that Mr. Hinton had a gun.
Mr. Hinton fell to the ground and the responding officers provided first aid, Chief Theetge said.
A firearm was recovered at the scene, the chief added. Another gun was found inside the stolen car, the police said.
And we all know how much we can trust what the police say.
Officer: “He had a gun.” Me: “It’s America. who doesn’t have a gun? It’s a constitutional right, not an excuse for you to murder people. Was he pointing the gun at you, or did he just have one?”
Honestly I’m only shocked that more people haven’t avenged their loved ones who have been murdered by cowardly racist cops.
The gun was drawn. Why would a cop wait for the kid to take the first shot?
I see no connection. The fact a leader was made responsible for their poor descisions through an act of god is extremely ironic and I am sure the jury will see that.
Thoughts and prayers
Oh no. What a freak accident?! This is horrible.

Good!

This is just going to happen more and more. This is the cost of justice denied and justice deferred that police have exploited for decades.
When people lose trust in a system, they will take matters into their own hands. It wont be clean or fair, it will just be retribution.

Takes it up. Whoever takes it up. Justice in the next life, in this one there is only the law , and all men are equal before the law. Because Colt Firearms made them equal. Hammurabi in his grave is rising. Not to judge who is right, but who is left. So many lives broken by a broken straw of pressure on a sliver of metal pulled by an ignorant finger that should know better than to pull when someone is running away. We can’t sprinkle crack, drop a throwaway, and call it a day. Not bow, not ever really, not any more. We want peace Piece by piece Our land slips the dogs again We say be aware. They say beware. We say be wary. They call for war.
