American Leaders Urged to Support Police Officers Following Deputy’s Tragic Death

Vice President JD Vance has placed blame on American leaders for vilifying police officers, especially after the recent death of Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputy, Larry Henderson, who was fatally struck by a car driven by a criminal in Cincinnati.

Speaking at a law enforcement breakfast, Vance emphasized the importance of both policy and moral leadership in supporting law enforcement. He expressed his condolences for Deputy Henderson, highlighting the sacrifices made by police officers in keeping communities safe.

Reflecting on the tragic incident, Vance stated, “Larry Henderson lost his life because he was doing his job and keeping people safe. And when I think about why that senseless crime happened, obviously you’ve got to place blame on the guy who committed the crime.”

He further added, “But I also think a lot of the blame falls on American leadership, who for too long, have made our police officers out to be enemies, instead of the great public servants that all of us know that they are.”

The tragic incident involving Deputy Henderson occurred during a graduation ceremony at the University of Cincinnati, where he was directing traffic. The suspect, Rodney Hinton, faces charges of aggravated murder for intentionally driving into Henderson, following the shooting death of his 18-year-old son by police officers.

Despite pleading not guilty, Hinton is set to stand trial in February 2026. Ohio Fraternal Order of Police President Jay McDonald condemned the act as an intentional murder of a police officer.

Vance reassured law enforcement officials of President Donald Trump’s support during the breakfast, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to backing the police force both morally and through policy initiatives. He highlighted an executive order signed by Trump to enhance resources for law enforcement officers and provide legal support in cases where officers face unjust repercussions for their duties.

In response to Henderson’s death, Senator Bernie Moreno introduced the Larry Henderson Act in the Senate, aiming to increase the minimum sentence for assaulting federal law enforcement officers to 20 years. Moreno emphasized the need for severe consequences for those who attack law enforcement personnel.
