The crazy moment that went down in court when Rodney Hinton Jr., who is accused of avenging his son’s death, after he was fatally shot by a cop walked out of the courtroom coming face to face with over 30 cops who showed up for their slain colleague. Talk about a bold move!
The tension in the air must have been off the charts. The looks on Rodney’s face as he made his way through the crowd was a strong message to the law enforcement ‘gang.’ That’s the kind of stuff you only see in movies.
Rodney Hinton Jr. is not shying away from any rising tensions with police. During a recent court appearance this week, the 38-year-old man accused of killing a Cincinnati sheriff’s deputy walked past a sea of over 50 glaring cops seeking justice for their late colleague, with chin held high, eyeing each and every one of them.
As previously reported by theGrio, Hinton Jr. was the father of Ryan Hinton, a young man who was fatally shot at the hands of the police. While court officials prepare to debate whether or not the father is guilty, the court of public opinion – social media– has already made up its mind.
“That man had NO prior record. He was a peaceful law-abiding citizen but they took his child,” wrote one TikTok user.
Meanwhile, on X, a user shared: “All I’m saying is this. If a cop killed my son…I’m airing out the precinct. Rodney Hinton Jr. is a saint and a hero.”
“When the system has already taken everything from you, there’s nothing else you can lose. That’s when true rage comes out,” another TikTok commentator shared.
According to law enforcement, Hinton Jr. intentionally struck Hamilton County Special Deputy Larry Henderson when driving through an intersection. Officer Henderson ultimately succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. The incident reportedly happened hours after Hinton Jr. had seen the body cam footage of a Cincinnati Police Department officer fatally shooting his 18-year old son, Ryan, the day before.
It’s moments like these that make you realize real life can be just as wild as any Hollywood blockbuster. It’s heartbreaking seeing your son being killed by cops! He couldn’t stand it and had to hit back harder!
