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

The eye for an eye gangster shit happens daily.

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.

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.

So he killed someone who had nothing to do with his son's death in retaliation?

Yeah, I don't see how those two are equivalent. I appreciate the clarification though.

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Not even the same police force ..he ran over a University of Cincinnati police officer. I mean they have a bad record too but they didn't harm his son.

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

In my opinion, they'd be the same if he killed the sheriff of the department since Mangione killed the CEO. It's easy to place responsiblity on the person in charge.

Killing a random cop from the department is only the same if you subscribe to the belief that All Cops Are Bastards. In that case, you could say all cops in the department would be equally responsible for the death since none of them speak out against officers who kill people.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I don't think all but the most rabid ACAB supporter would support killing one officer in retaliation to what another did, that's some bizarre reasoning.

[-] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Not that I support it, but that seems like gang warfare. Eye for an eye regardless.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, very much gang warfare logic.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

As a foreign cracker, it seems like the perspective of many black Americans is similar to the way non-mentally ill people view a jew killing a nazi (because of what other nazis have done).

I'm not implying the situation's are identical, or that this cop deserved it, but hate is a natural response to oppression and persecution, especially by the state, and especially across generations. It doesn't look like anything has really changed since George Floyd (or Rodney King 35 years ago), except that America is more of a fascist shithole. As long as some cops are immune to be lawless criminals, it's ridiculous to expect blacks to forgive and forget.

I support the second picture too, the man a hero and should also go free. Jury nulication for both.

[-] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Wasn't the person he ran over not even on the same police force?

[-] Robotsandstuff@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Fuck tye police
