I want to point out an 2 items I found in this story that adds to my conviction that WTF is wrong with the cops in this country?
"Naaman Adcock, 40, resigned Wednesday morning from the Fort Smith Police Department after being charged with suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm while intoxicated, reckless conduct with a firearm, felonious pointing a firearm and child endangerment, according to the Times Record.
According to the girl, her stepfather had been drinking heavily and screaming at her mother while holding a gun. Adcock allegedly said, Damn, this doesnt have any bullets, referring to the gun, before pointing the gun at the boy. The girl alleged that Adcock said he would blow the boys Jewish brains out.
Deputies went to the Adcock residence where Adcock opened the door with a pistol drawn and pointed at the officers. A deputy drew her weapon and ordered Adcock to drop his gun. Adcock complied after first waving it around and stating, What? Oh really, are you going to shoot me?"
The Fort Smith Police Department is conducting its own investigation. Deputies said they took nine of Naaman Adcock's weapons when they arrived."

This cretin was allowed to 'resign' which means he will probably keep whatever pension he has coming; '...pistol drawn and pointed at the officers' who did not blow him away.
Add to the crap this story generated;
While I was looking into news stories, I looked at both a TV station's story;
http://www.4029tv.com/news/police-officer-on-leave-for-holding-gun-to-5yearold/26198568
And the local newspaper's account;
http://swtimes.com/news/report-fort-smith-police-officer-threatened-5-year-old-resigns
They were pretty much the same, except the paper's account DID NOT have have the '...nine guns...', even though they did have the first sentence of that sentence, '...conducting its own investigation.'

(5,455 posts)My guess is he resigned on the advice of his lawyer rather then be fired by the police department that way his being fired can't be used against him in the trial.
As for the pension, it is unlikely he completed the 20 years that is usually required for most police pensions, excluding of course pensions due to disability or injury.

He's vested at five years of service.

How nice of the cops to look after their own.
