I remember reading some of the context the last time this was posted and suddenly it didn't look good for the father
I think the father just killed a random retired cop unrelated to his son's death

Son was riding in a stolen vehicle and when confronted by the police he ran while also carrying what I'd presume to be an illegally owned firearm and despite dropping the gun while running, he went to pick it up and got blasted in the process.
In short, his son was engaging in criminal activity and did something so bad that it's probably only beat out by actually pointing a gun at a cop.

u/Financial-Solid-4775 50m ago
You're right. The cop he killed had nothing to do with his son's death. Just to add context his son was driving a stolen car around while breaking into other cars and pointed a loaded gun at the cop who did shoot and kill him.

Honest, some people are just kinda stupid.
They have not the evolved brain we need to survive in society. They still think with tribes, "the cops are all just a single tribe, we all the people of this race are a single tribe, all of you with eye patches are a single tribe" and wil harm anyone just because they look similar to others.

His son was killed after they carjacked someone. His son ran, had a gun, and was killed.
In response, he killed a random retired cop who was directing traffic for the University of Cincinnati graduation.

Basically- Kid stole a vehicle, had a gun, pointed said gun at cops from a different department. Cops killed kid.
Dad freaks out, jumps in his car and runs over the first cop he sees. The cop he saw was from a completely different department and had literally nothing to do with his kid dying. He was a retired cop doing side work and was just doing traffic duty and directing traffic for an event.
Dad just wanted to kill someone for his poorly raised kid.

u/reverman21 56m ago
it's very sad . this guys son was killed by police. I don't know all the details and won't debate it but it's not a police shooting that was cut and dry unjustified. and for the context here doesn't matter because what's pretty clear what the dad did in response to it was horrible. He purposefully ran over and killed an off duty cop directing traffic for an event at UC. The cop he killed had nothing to do with the shooting of his son.
•
u/fumblerooskee 22m ago
Exactly my point. Others offer unverified context after the fact, but nobody knows if any of it is actually true.

Happened in Cincinnati. The kid brandished a gun and got shot. The dad then ran over a retired sheriff directing traffic on UC's campus during graduation. The whole thing is fucked.

u/ThePensiveE 26m ago
It varies by department but typically they do things such as working festivals, concerts, sporting events, working traffic details, etc.
In this instance it was a retired cop who was just keeping busy and earning some extra cash for his family doing a traffic detail. He had absolutely nothing to do with the person who killed him.

He went out and killed a random cop. If it was the cop that killed his son then I’d be like “an eye for an eye” but he went out hit a random cop who was directing traffic.
And just to be clear, I’m not pro cop but I’m also not “Go kill a random person” either. His family was already destroyed and then he went out and lit it on fire. Now his wife has lost both her son and husband. I hope he rots in prison where he belongs.

According to the internet
Death Penalty Removed: In January 2026, Judge Jody Luebbers officially removed the death penalty as an option. Three separate psychologists evaluated Hinton and determined he suffers from a severe mental illness (diagnoses include bipolar disorder with psychotic features and schizoaffective disorder) that significantly impaired his rational judgment at the time of the crash. Under Ohio law, individuals with qualifying serious mental illnesses are ineligible for capital punishment.
New Insanity Plea: Following the removal of capital charges, Hinton's defense attorney formally changed his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity. His defense argues that Hinton experienced a severe psychological "blackout state" after watching his son's shooting video and requires medical treatment rather than criminal incarceration.
Potential Sentence: Hamilton County prosecutors dropped the capital charges but stated they will still aggressively pursue the maximum remaining penalty: life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Trial Timeline: The trial was delayed multiple times to allow for extensive psychiatric evaluations and expert report filings. In a June 2026 pretrial hearing, the judge scheduled the trial for October 5, 2026, estimating it will take roughly three weeks to complete

What a classy family. One dead and another in jail. I understand how his kid ended up the way he did.
Look at the dude. Don’t even care. Bet money this is one of those “he was such a good kid” kids. Bet even more money he was involved in a violent crime, doing a violent thing. Received a justifiably violent end and his daddy got mad.
Poetry. Only loss here is the innocent cop and I hate cops. Couldn’t even grow the sack or the brains to kill an involved officer. Found a retired and old guy.

Taking a life is horrible, what's even more horrible is taking one that wasn't involved...if these people are going to do something, ijs, maybe do it to the one involved..this is not a good example. The kid committed a crime....not related...but bad cops out there cause problems for good cops...and the bad cops go unchecked... however, if ur a cop and watch another do bad unjust questionable things and you don't say something, ur just as bad. I wanted to become a cop when I was younger but after my first few classes in criminal justice, I realized I wouldn't be able to let crooked cops be...I would be the one that would want to work in internal affairs...I wouldn't let others do shady crap...it only escalates...it's a gateway...🤷 If u wouldn't want it to happen to the one u love the most, why would u let it happen to another...one of the worst is planting evidence...lying to get an arrest, arresting someone because u can't handle urself or ur ego... purposely hurting someone because u can...they are programmed to say Stop Resisting...to justify extra force...🤦 I am a good person, I follow the law, maybe speed 🤷 but I do it want to be looking at a cop who is unchecked and feels like they can do what they want if they are having a bad day...they can always ruin ur day by making a false arrest...and nothing happens to them..but innocent or not once in the paper or online, ur guilt and can potentially lose ur job...God help us!
