Checking on Google one fund for Rodney Hinton, Jr. has already been deleted –

One fund is still active for the son of Hinton who was killed by police before his father committed the crime-

Numerous Sheriff’s supported the request—

Mercer Sheriff

Please read the attached letter from the Buckeye State Sheriffs’ Association (BSSA). The Mercer County Sheriff’s Office supports the BSSA’s statements.

Hardin County Sheriff’s Office – Sheriff Keith A Everhart

Please read the attached letter from the Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association. I as your Sheriff support this letter in its entirety. As your Sheriff of 17 years and a Deputy for 15 years before that I find it disgusting that GoFundMe would support the fundraising for a murdering cop-killer. This is the same GoFundMe that makes it almost impossible to fundraise for slain officers when their families are in need. I urge GoFundMe to take these fundraisers down immediately.

Clark County Sheriff’s Office – Ohio 

Please see the attached statement from the Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office supports and echos this statement.
