The half brother of #JDVance is projected to finish in the top 2 in Tuesday’s primary race for #Cincinnati #mayor & will advance to the general #election.

#CoryBowman —an #evangelical pastor & coffee shop owner who shares the same father as #Vance —ran in the *nonpartisan* primary as 1 of 2 #Republicans to challenge #Democrat Aftab Pureval, the incumbent mayor. Bowman finished a distant second to Pureval, w/ ~13% of the vote. But as the top 2 vote-getters, Pureval & Bowman will face off in Nov.

Hawk Newsome, an NYC lawyer and vocal BLM advocate, pointed out on his socials today that the Hinton family should try to have spectating cops banned from wearing their uniforms in court.

Timothy Thomas was unarmed at the time of his death and was only fleeing cops when they killed him.

Over the previous 5 years the cops had killed FIFTEEN Black crime suspects in similar situations.

Meanwhile the cops killed ZERO white suspects under similar chases, despite the white population and incidents being significantly higher. It did not matter if the White suspects were armed or unarmed.

In 2001 when Rodney Hinton was around 14yo police killed a teenager, Timothy Thomas, under very similar circumstances to how his son Ryan would die 24 years later.

The cop, Stephen Roach, killed Timothy for running from cops who tried to arrest him over traffic tickets. None of Timothy's charges were more sever than non-violent misdemeanors and traffic citations.

Cops murdered Timothy for running from traffic tickets.

So it would seem Rodney's lawyer is leaning hard into the temporary insanity defense.

Given the history of blatantly unnecessary killings of Black teenagers in Cincinnati and Ohio alone, to speak nothing of the nation wide history, it is somewhat refreshing to see Rodney's obviously destroyed emotional state taking center stage.

The cops killed his son, unnecessarily, and it would be a statistical outlier if the cops are held accountable.

One more bit of background on Ryan's death before we get into Rodney's retaliation case.

The estate of Ryan Hinton held their first lengthy press conference on Monday.

Not many new deals but you can hear their case taking shape.

They make clear that there's now multiple court processes playing out. This team, is supported by the GFM link at the top of thread, say they have already filed records requests for additional cop cams etc.

Like Luigi, Rodney is struggling to find a platform that will allow him to collect donations.

It was reported that Go Fund Me took down any funding drives for Rodney & apologized to the cops.

I'm still looking for where Rodney's legal fund will be hosted. Updates when I find it. Shout if you locate it first!

Funds for Rodney's slain teenage son's legal fund remain active, link at top of thread.

Rodney Hinton was back in court yesterday to enter a plea and possibly seek bail.

In parallel's to Luigi Mangione, cops showed up in comically overwhelming force at his first court appearance.

Every step Rodeny makes in court is within INCHES of a snearing pig with a gun.

Early Tuesday morning a local journalist tweeted the last pick saying:

"Officers are now packing the courtroom in support of their fallen brother in blue."

A GoFundMe was setup for Ryan Hinton's family, the 18 year old cops killed last week.

It still hasn't hit it's modest $10k goal yet.

They haven't posted an update on the jailing of Ryan's father or his alleged role in killing a cop in revenge. But its clear this family will be needing support to any semblance of justice or fair investigation of Ryan's death.
