From the Buckeye State Sheriff's Association:
For Immediate Release
The Buckeye State Sheriff's Association Demands GoFundMe Remove.
Fundraiser for Cop-Killer who taunted Deputies at Arraignment
Columbus, Ohio Robert Cornwell, Executive Director of the Buckeye
State Sheriff's Association demanding that the online fundraising
platform GoFundMe shut down the multiple fundraisers supporting
Rodney Hinton, Jr. The man is currently charged with murdering a
Hamilton County Deputy Sheriff while working a special duty detail on
May 2,2025.
On behalf of the Law Enforcement Community in Ohio and the nation,
we implore the GoFundMe organization to immediately take-down the
efforts of fundraising for an assassin.
The BSSA represents all Sheriffs in the State of Ohio as well as over
3,000 deputy sheriffs and 17,000 private citizens.
Me. Hinton and his family and friends should not benefit at the
expanse of a Law Enforcement Officer that was doing the job he was
hired to perform.
