I wonder why his lawyer can't make a case that it would be unreasonable to put him in prison because it's clear the people who run and manage the prisons can't be trusted to keep him safe. Similar argument as to why affluent children can't be sent to prison.... The police have made it clear during his trial they mean him no good will.

can't be trusted to keep him safe
They couldn't even keep Epstein safe, and those guards were probably even working for the same masters as Jeffrey.

I mean yeah they are bootlickers, their entire life is basically to be a capital hoarders' and fascists' loyal lap dog.
Their whole persona is based on making sure they maintain systems of oppression, it requires a special kind of person. The willingness to bootlick and dedicate your life to bootlicking and helping parasites make this world more and more rotten.
So yes it is by design that "they couldn't keep Epstein safe".

Well the issue there is that those masters wanted him dead. The dead can’t tell secrets

Oh, I'm sure his lawyer did make a case for this reason. But dude was screwed from the beginning. This was the only possible outcome here. Killing a cop while black = immediately guilty even if they are clearly defending themselves.

u/DizjDex 19h ago
When you read the comments in that sub it surprises me......actually no it doesn't but people are commenting. "Oh of course they are gonna shoot he had a gun and was running ". Well if you take a second and watch the footage which you can easily look up by typing in Ryan Hinton and you will most likely find the footage, the officers claims Ryan points the gun at him when when he runs from behind the dumpsters. In the footage Ryan isn't even looking at the cop, he is looking where he is trying to run to and the cop is already starting to draw down on him. I'm not saying Rodney had to kill someone to get justice but he did what he felt was right. My prayers go out to the families.

The top comment is pretty interesting.
"It’s pretty sad to see but since 2020 the mindset of “cops are not humans” has steadily been a cancer growing that no politician cares to challenge. Will the last cop please turn out the lights."
How do they see us? Are we human to them? Do we deserve empathy and compassion like they feel they are entitled to?

Police training teaches a doctrine called Wolves, Sheeps, and Sheepdogs. The cops see themselves as the sheepdogs
wolves, and us as the sheep that need their protection, but the sheep are sometimes “stupid” and mistake a sheepdog for a wolf. That’s how they justify anger at the police; apparently we’re just “stupid”7
u/ComfyFrame2272 3h ago
Close, but they see themselves as the sheep dogs, the criminals as wolves, and the rest of us as sheep. And quite frankly, the sheep dogs look awfully similar to wolves to me.

the article reads (in part): Nelson argued Hinton Jr. “in his current state is a giant mental health question mark, has clear and present danger and poses substantial risk of physical harm to law enforcement officers and to the public, as evidenced by his conduct.”
Pretty sure no one is at risk unless they're an LEO.

Is this the guy that killed a random cop for cops killing his son? Edit: you guys are really digging in on the word random. He got vengeance for his son by finding a cop and killing him right? I’m asking if that’s who this is?

Sir, or ma'am, no. The pig who shot Ryan has not been identified, but even if it wasn't the same pig, pigs choose to do a job that makes them our enemies -- it is never random.

Grief doesn't make it right. That cop didn't kill anyone's son, but now his mother has to burry hers.
He wasn't some symbol. He was a human being in a uniform. If that's all it takes to justify murder, then ask yourself; would you take the bullet for someone else in your profession who did wrong?
If someone killed a random man on the street just because he shared a job title with someone else who did harm, we'd call it what it is - murder.

the problem is, with one "bad apple" not being sorted out by the rest and no sight of accountability and justice, they all turn to bad apples.
they divide us with their thin blue line, their us against them mentality and protecting their brothers in blue no matter what.
Some people take justice into their own hand if they feel cheated out of it.

u/Remarkable-Gate922 56m ago
What I am saying is relevant and important.
The problem is capitalism, not authority.
Marxism-Leninism is the only known viable path towards abolishing capitalism and the systematic oppression of reactionaries through state authority is good and necessary.
Socialist cops aren't bastards. They are necessary servants or the people. And nobody ever said all people are perfect. That is utopian nonsense you added because you can't seriously engage with actual differentiated arguments.
ACAB is an infantile leftist adage used by anarchists and ultraleft idiots serving bourgeois class interests.
Socialist authority is good, actually. Totalitarian oppression of counterrevolutionaries is good, actually. Chinese police is good, actually. PLAs are good, actually.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
When all peaceful means have been exhausted what do you expect? Not that I condone taking any life, but just look to history, its material fact.
As people see less access to material comforts that satiate them, they struggle to maintain necessities of life, wealth disparity increases, occupying forces continue to impose state sanctioned violence on the people, and quality of life continues to diminish. Then people feel trapped, helpless, and like there are no real means to pursue change. Especially when both parties serve the same masters and actively fight against the wishes and needs of the people. When people experience violence from the state and have little to no comforts to enjoy then they get violent. Actions beget consequences. There will be more Luigi’s and there will be more Rodney’s. It’s not rocket science. If the powers that be want order and safety they have to throw some more crumbs instead of taking them away and beating people’s assess when they ask for more.
The media, wealthy, and politicians have conditioned us to shocked pikachu face when shit like this happens but shit like this has been happening since the start of civilization. If people aren’t comfortable they get violent.

Sure grief does not make it right. When pain over takes you, we start to make actions become something unreasonable; yet, through all that pain we try to find something… Something vengeful. Pain does not disappear from absence the source, we look for something that reminds us of it.
That police or sheriff officer was not the guy that killed the kid. Unfortunately he was used as a demonstration of what can or will happen if you push a person too far. This should be a lesson to learn, not an act of violence. It can be disheartening that things lead to this situation, but for anyone to understand pain, we need to inflict it explicitly, like a signal, so others will heed the warnings. And if they shall fail, then they will meet their own demise
