This Episode

⚖️ Justice or Vengeance? The Killing of Ryan Hinton and a Father’s Breaking Point

In one of the most emotionally charged episodes of The Hill of Justice, hosts Jerome and Keith Hill examines the devastating case of Ryan Hinton—a young Black man gunned down in what many are calling an unlawful and racially motivated police shooting.

But this story doesn’t end with a press release or a closed investigation.
It spirals into something far more tragic.

🔥 A Father’s Grief Turns Deadly

As the Hinton family searched for answers and justice, Ryan’s father made a gut-wrenching decision that would shake the nation: he fatally shot a police officer—an innocent man—in a desperate act of retaliation.

What led to that breaking point?
And what does it say about the systems that continue to fail families like the Hintons?

🎧 In This Episode, We Confront:

• The Fatal Encounter – What we know about the moments leading to Ryan’s death—and what remains unanswered.

• Race, Policing, and America – How Ryan’s killing fits into the larger pattern of systemic racism and deadly force.

• Retaliation vs. Justice – Can an act of vengeance ever be morally justified when accountability is denied?

• The Trauma Cycle – How grief, rage, and loss can erupt into further tragedy—and why intervention matters.

• The Cost of Silence – What communities, leaders, and citizens must do to prevent the next tragedy.

🕊️ More Than a Hashtag

This isn’t just another case study or viral headline. It’s a raw, honest look at how a single moment can expose decades of injustice—and ignite generational pain.
