Well, not much to say that has not already been said.. but, I’m bored.. so I’ll try.

@Kim, Marcia, Ron, and Family:
Everyone else here is bored too, ignore them, the issue isn’t Ron — they don’t know Ron. Notice that everyone here who knows Ron is taking up for him, so its obvious that this issue is not even about him.

@David Green:
Excellent points, but its the wrong context. I have not seen anyone here saying that anyone should be acquitted of any crimes or automatically reinstated as officers. The point [we] supporters are trying to make is that although this is bad, and punishment should ensue, Ron should not be condemned as a person. His acts were against the law, but not intentionally against the people. So, let the legal hammer fall where it should, but then rally behind him so that he may leave the situation feeling the support that his attitude and prior life actions have warranted. Support and love, rather than scorn, promote love and support universally.

@All other protesters:
Most of the people here do not bother to fully formulate a thought. Spend an extra five minutes on your post please, uneducated remarks couldn’t possibly help anything. Try proofreading.

@lol:
“who thinks like that!”

Is that a question? If so, then “me!”. But, I do agree that a law is a law, even if I think its a stupid law. I dislike most laws, just on principal, and by extension I generally dislike most cops too — because they enforce the laws I think are stupid. Putting that aside, I did not excuse his actions legally, but rather socially (somewhat). In social terms the crime is very minor — he did not rape, murder, or burn anything down… its a relatively small offense and it should not erase ALL of his good deeds in life. Help the man up and let’s move on.

I use to be good friends with Ron, but i got married and pregnant so i quit hanging out with them!!! But ron was a good guy…and yes i understand he was a cop but look at people higher up they have done worse things!!!! so quit criticizing!! no body is perfect!!! and as far as i can see it took a real man to turn his self in!!! and ron had a little girl and i’m pretty sure she doesn’t want people to run their mouths about her daddy!!! so for ron and his whole family’s sake leave them alone!!!! Ron i will pray for you and i will always consider you a good friend!!!! God bless you and i hope you make it through this!!!!! let god guide you he will get you where you need to be!!!! Lots of love, sam!!!

Little Ron is a good guy. Good guys do bad things, and bad things happen to good people. I’ve know this family for a very long time. So leave them alone and let all of them heal. He is human, and puts his pants on one leg at a time like everyone else.

If you can read this all started in Feb. not 2 years ago. What give you the right to say he is a drug head. He protected you and your family wand was a durn good cop. Ask anyone who knew him or worked with him. You act like he has been doing this for years. Shut up and pay attention I worked with him personally and his was always at his best and that means when he was on duty he give 100% of his abilities to the department and the public. What he did on his off time I don’t know. But make it out like he was a drug head. That not even fair. He is and will always be a great person. I worked with him. And hay everone pay taxes so don’t throw that comment this way. Do it mean when I pay taxes I am paying my own salary? This man did his job to protect and serve the public, yes he got caught up in a bad desicion making process, but dont hang him on this. He deserves a chance to prove himself. And he will. Hay he is just human. Could happen to anyone and don’t even say it will not.

I agree…we have the right to freedom of speech. If it wasn’t a family member then you would be just like the rest of us. Im not bashing….Im concerned and to be honest afraid. Im afraid to know that people like this are out there and hold theses type of positions. I mean he was sworn in to protect us, our city, our children, and our property. How can you arrest someone for drugs or other crimes when you are high yourself. I know that people make mistakes but someone of such great character should have admitted his mistakes long ago and got some help for it. I believe that it is my business because I spend money in the city of Atmore and pay my taxes therefore I pay his salary and I have every right to know what my employees are up too. Im sorry for the family because unfortunately addiction affects everyone. Pain killer addiction is a big problem in our state. Most people dont know that we are one of the top states in the country for “pill” addiction.

William,
Thank you for reporting this story.
We have every right to know what’s happening in our surrounding area’s. Thanks to Century Pharmacy for paying attention to what is going on at their pharmacy and catching on to this…… The people at Century Pharmacy are good people. Atmore Police Depart ment a Police Officer let you down but it doesn’t mean you all are bad cops.

People here on this forum have just as many rights to speak out and give an opinion. No one here has got out of line or William would not let them post.
