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 be retribution, like what happened here.
The new age of the Wild West. Law and retribution is the hands of whoever makes it up.
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 now, 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 beg for war.
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.
Freak accident, weird
According to the article 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 deputy 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.
.ml users siding with the police once again, I guess this is the logical endpoint of vanguardism
lol what? That’s such a gross mischaracterization of .ml users it borders on libel. If anything, they’d be in the ACAB camp.
they’d absolutely not be in the ACAB camp, considering the track record of tankies on creating police states. there wasn’t a single ML state in history that didn’t end up doing this.
also, considering your comment history of bootlicking .ml instances, you’re either using an alt to appear less reactionary or just extremely gullible when it comes to ML propaganda.
Dude, you’re so misinformed. They’re anticapitalist, therefore they’re anti capitalist-police. Police, especially Western police, protect capital. There’s no way a person you’d consider a tankie would support American police. Absolutly no way.
Bootlicking? I do not. Anyone can check my comment history and see that.
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 🤷♂️
[Edit] I forgot to add that I do not blame the father exactly either. I cannot imagine what that must be like. I hope he will be judged fairly.
I’m on .ml and I fucking hate cops. You’ll never see me concern trolling on behalf of some dead pigs.

Not guilty.
Jury nullification would be perfect for this case
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 of the 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.
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.

The kid’s gun was drawn. Am not surprised the cup did not wait for the kid to take aim. However…
Cops could have let him go (just like some jurisdictions abandon high speed chases). Surely there are enough CCTV cameras to eventually arrest him?
US needs to get civilised and reform gun laws like Australia did.
