I seem to recall the first report after it happened said he was going home, and not speeding.
Now we hear he was responding to another officer's call for assistance.
How many police officers respond to calls with open liquor in their vehicle I wonder?
If I am incorrect be sure to correct me!

My understanding is that his BAC was 0%, that the bottles were in his trunk, and that the alcohol bottles are not being used as evidence.

I'd say if you or I hit this child, we'd be in jail since we were speeding, and had open containers in the car. The liquor in the squad car really bothers me....bad bad bad. Wonder if he had some blow too? Or what ever they call it now days...but it wouldn't surprise me if he did. And he got out of the car and did not hang up his phone...what was he on? Did they test his blood?

How about he was on the SO issued Nextel calling into dispatch about the crash? And is it illegal to have TRASH in the TRUNK of a patrol car?? No open containers in the passenger area of the car and 0% BAC. Give it a rest people, it was a tragic accident!

Isn't it amazing how the ossifers circle to "protect" their own?
then when they are caught, they run like the "heroes" they are NOT!
Killings and his ilk are lying to cover a FALSE hero

So he was on his SO issued Nextel calling into dispatch, huh? No, turns out he was on the phone with a Lavergne female detective he met at a seminar. Hmmmm, let's see what his groupies have to say now.

Spook.. I don't really know what happened, but I don't think the SO makes you use your personal cell phone for county bussiness.. So was he speeding to get to Lavergne to help the woman? That is a long way to go.. I'm still trying to figure out there were no lights or sirens if he was headed to an emergency... So where does the other officer form Lavergne come into it? Is there a law against driving and talking on your cell phone? I'm fairly sure you can't text, but I'm not sure about talking on your personal cell phone.

If a officer has alcohol bottles, empty or not, anywhere in his patrol car, he is NOT an officer that can be respected or trusted. I've known people to get a DUI and non of them waited several hours to get tested and they sure as heck did not stop by a convenience store to get something to drink. It was an accident but it sure STINKS of a cover up.

Most detectives use their own cars and have lighs and sirens installed on them so I would think he was in his own vehicle. This is a tragic thing to happen and I am sure he lives with it every single day. The man saved lives and fought crime. I can imagine how this haunts him.

I don't know what to believe being that the media tend to twist facts to make a story more interesting. Is he guilty of reckless homicide? Without a doubt. It doesn't matter if he was en route to an official emergency or not, which by the way, I don't think he was, he should not be driving in excess of 70 mph in a 35 mph zone. Plain and simple.

You really believe he is "without a doubt" guilty of reckless homicide? No, he is NOT. If he was a private citizen on his way home to dinner, then yes, I would agree. But he was a police officer, having received a second call to "step it up" to a scene, and he was doing exactly what we trained and paid him to do.
The kid should have been supervised and not allowed to run out in the street. She was running ahead of her friends trying to beat them home and simply wasn't paying attention.

Endangering himself and other citizens as a police officer or not is reckless. PERIOD!

I'm a police officer. We are constantly multi tasking ALL of the time. And it seems as if Killings was doing so with due care. Where I work, TONS of children run out in traffic, unsupervised, and careless. Its called pedestrian error. The parents are out for blood. They want money and the reputation of the officer and his familty ruined. Its a tragic event, that the officer will NEVER forget. We are traumatized by all the negativity and death we see every day. We dream about it. I feel for the family, and so does Killings who I know he can never express to the family. But he does care. But for the family to call Killings a liar..sorry!! the family will disturb the balance of justice to get what they want. They were not there. Killings was there. What worries me the most.... what if Killings was a white man...God help us!!!

Im sure theres police officers on this site supporting Killings with false facts and heres a few. Killings admitted on the stand he was talking on his personal cell phone to his girlfriend when accident happened. He took liquor bottles out of his car and hid them in the grass,the liquor store confirms he bought them earlier the same day. Hes on video in a store buying gatorade drinks with fellow police officers before he is given a blood test. Whats sad about all of this is the jury will hear none of it. Whether he was drunk or not is not the problem,the problem is hiding this from the jury.. The jury is going to find him innocent and when reporters ask them would it change their mind if they knew about this hidden evidence they will be shocked. Sad all around.. Another thing if the police officers were just doing their job how come some have been suspended for their actions,something else the jury will not hear. SO when police officers get on here saying they dont protect their own,theyre just showing their stupidity

You people are too much!!! It's a good thing none of you are on the jury. Most of what has been posted on this blog are things that were read in the media. Haven't you learned by now that the media only tells you certain things to keep you coming back for more!!! Was the officer speeding? Yes... Should the little girl have been home and under adult supervision? Yes...
A tragic accident!!!

One other thing that puzzles me that maybe some of his homies can explain.. He admitted on the stand that he resigned from the police force because he respects Truman Jones.. If you were doing your job and you respect your boss,why resign??

Trash is his trunk, LOL. What a croc of crud. It was trash only because he chug-a-lugged the liquor and emptied the bottles. Then his cronies came along and covered it up. This type behavior gives the police a bad name. I think the fact he resigned speaks volumes. He knows he messed up. Now time to pay up... Like I said before, had he been a normal tax paying citizen, he'd be in jail already. Lock him up like you would the rest of us already.

All I can say is I hope and pray, no child EVER darts out in front of me...whether I am going 30 or 65 mph, it's not going to be a good outcome. With that said, if this were to ever happen to me, putting me in jail for a tragic accident would be double punishment. I would be in my own personal hell for the rest of my life.

To the ones of you that are police officers or are very pro police not matter what they do... A Lavergne officer was recently hit by a drunkdriver... how many of you will go to the defense of the man that hit the officer? I work with him and he is a good man that screwed up. He is going to have to face the consequences of his poor judgement. This entire event has turned into "us againts them". It was even attempted to make it a race issue of all things. All I think the people want is an unbiased fair trial and the appropriate consequence for any crime. Even cops mess up sometimes and have to be punished. Just because cops enforce the law does NOT make them above the law.

Im still wanting to know if Mr. Killings was just doing his job why resign from the job that puts food on you and your families table because you respect your boss? Would liquor bottles be the answer?

tnbumble, and pirate, my guess is that you 2 have probably had run ins with the law yourselves. Thats why you dislike police so much. Your argument about the liquor bottles is getting stale. Ron Killings was not drunk. The blood alcohol test proves it. That makes the liquor bottles irrelevent to the case of reckless homocide.
