Eeeeyy Sarge, we got us uh real wack-a-doo here! Tinks he's a SEAL. Next he'll tell us he's Captin' Amerikuh or sompin'....

[BradtotheBone]

Why are they searching his car for running a red light?

[Chode]

oh boy...

[WayneS]

I'd like to see a little more detailed reporting on how the NYC cops made the leap from pulling him over for running a red light (a relatively minor traffic infraction usually resulting in a traffic ticket) to searching his vehicle.

[Liberty Valance]

Just after 9-11 he would have been given a police escort to wherever he was headed. Running a red light ... the nerve.

Military members are exempt from firearms laws when they are ordered to carry. Local yokels need to mind their place.

[US Navy Vet]

If this guy is INDEED and US Navy SEAL then an overnight in a NYC lockup should be just a walk in the park. He could EVEN call it “training”!

[ArrogantBustard]

Since when are members of the military exempt from following the laws of these United States?

He shouldn't be arrested for carrying a pistol in Noo Yawk $#!++y ... because the Sullivan Act is blatantly unconstitutional.

His being a US Air Force Ranger SEAL in Force Recon from the Spanish-American War is irrelevant.

Why on earth would anyone want to visit NYC? I mean it’d be like going to San Francisco.

Paging Scott Coleman, there's an extraction assignment for "SEAL Demolition and Salvage Corporation" in NYC...

[Venturer]

Damned shame.

New York is a swell place-—to stay away from.

Other than great Deli’s there isn’t much reason to go there.

Tinks he's a SEAL. Next he'll tell us he's...

Client: "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken."

Doctor: "Well, why don't you turn him in?"

Client: "I would, but I need the eggs."

[Nip]

Reality check.

Even while on leave you carry your DOD ID Card which include your rank and branch of service.

The NY Police had this document in their hands - why else did Navy Medicos show to interview him so quickly?

As for telling the arresting team he is a SEAL - it was their own safety. SERE training, at any level, is a real b**ch and it gives you reflexes that are dangerous to others. Me thinks the arresting team up and including their Captain need to speed some time at Coronado getting acquainted with what it takes to be a SEAL. Say BUDS and hell week?

[Gettin Betta]

No one asked the oblivious question; Who gets a ticket for going thru a red light in NYC?

Reminds me of comedian (cant remember who) who was comparing driving in NY to driving in LA.

In New York City you can drive thru red lights, drinking a beer, smoking a joint, headlights off and your seat belt hanging out the door throwing sparks off the pavement and you will never get pulled over.

My 1st day in LA I was pulled over because my left rear speaker was out.
