Within a few days from Rodney Hinton Jr.'s arrest because he had hit and killed a Hamilton County Sheriff deputy, more than a dozen fundraisers appeared on gofundme who supported him. They no longer exist from Tuesday evening.

The online fundraising platform removed the campaigns to the demand of 23,000 law enforcement authorities in Ohio.

Gofundme removed donation campaigns for men who killed the deputy of the Sheriff of the Hamilton County

In the letter, McDonald said that the most active of the donation campaigns for Hinton had collected more than 5,000 US dollars. McDonald claimed that Gofundme had removed it in the past or made it more difficult that the funds for the police officers killed in the service were raised.

“Allowing donations for a cop killer are just above the line,” said McDonald.

Hinton is accused of deliberately setting the deputy Larry Henderson on May 2 after being observed with the body of the 18-year-old son by a Cincinnati police officer. Ryan Hinton was shot the day before.

Hours after McDonald sent the letter, the director of politics and commitment to the online platform wrote back and apologized for the fundraising campaigns and any “attempted abuse of the Gofundme platform”.

She expressed the condolences to the Ohio Law Enforcement Community on behalf of the entire Gofundme team because of its loss.

In her own letter, the representative explained the policy of Gofundme to collect people for people who are charged with violent crimes.

“I was more than grateful to see that they not only relieved it, but they said:” Listen, we are sorry for what happened to this deputy. ”

Kober also received a letter of apology from Gofundme. McDonald initially turned to him and informed him that the law enforcement authorities would not stand for the donation campaigns before he wrote to Gofundme, said Kober.

“It happened in other parts of the country and you know that I understand. Gofundme has millions and millions of different fundraisers at the same time,” said Kober. “It violates their guidelines. That's why we contacted them and they answered us immediately.”

Gofundme has recently taken a similar step than the platform fundamentally supported Luigi Mangione, removed the man who was accused of shot the CEO of Unitedhealthcare, Brian Thompson.

In accordance with the terms of use of the company, all of the people who are collected for the campaigns are fully reimbursed in accordance with the company's terms of use for the legal defense of someone who are charged due to violent crimes accused of violent crimes. The same guideline applies to donation actions created for Hinton.

“I can assure you that this type of behavior on our platform will not give any tolerance for this type of behavior,” said Gofundmes director of politics and commitment in your explanation. “Once again, the deputy Henderson and his family are in our thoughts and asked.”

We turned gofundme about the fundraisers that support the Hinton. The platform rejected and the interview decreased, but dismissed an explanation.

Donation campaigns for Ryan's mother and siblings remain on Gofundmes website. These pages fit the terms of use of the website.

Henderson will be relaxed on Friday after a public service. Cincinnati Fop works on a monument for Henderson, which is to be unveiled at some point next week.

At a trial on Tuesday morning, a judge from Hamilton County ordered Hinton to capture Hinton without bond.

“There is a lot of excitement. We hope that cooler heads will rule … We all mourn. Your families, you know that you know for things that have happened, for the Henderson family, for the officials involved in the shootout (Ryan Hinton), for the Henderson family (from Ryan Hinton).” Everyone processes different amounts of grief. We only encourage people to do it in a healthy way and just be peaceful as they do it. ”
