NYC Police Throw Navy SEAL Into Psych Ward for Claiming…He’s a SEAL

The Sullivan law in N.Y. is extremely strict, and is enforced accordingly. If the SEAL couldn't prove his status satisfactorily, he's gonna feel the bracelets. He should have had some kind of documentation, ID, etc. to back up his claim. Hope it comes OK in the end for him, and I hope all of the other members of "elite military units" take note of how this happened, for their own good, and make the adjustment.

I am going to agree that this guy should have been carrying his ID. The excuse abouthow many military guys come back from overseas and kill...niot many more statistacally as cops who have lost it, especially if you count ex-cops who we have tossed off the force because they could not hack it. Most military are darg good people and are the guys that will help you out of a bind. I would have let him go with a warning if it had been me, but that is just me and MY discreation. Even if all he had was a military ID.
As for those folks that do not think SEALs are special, I'll just leave it at this, THEY ARE! I have felt that way since 1968 for very good reasons and NOTHING in the last 40 plus years has changed my mind.

It's just the same as if you have a bb-gun, sling shot for hunting. Or even rape victim who thinks it's ok to carry a taser, or pepper spray for their protection anywhere in New York state. I have no sympathy for them if they don't take a few days to read through all of laws of New York. I'm just going to laugh when they get arrested. It's their fault for being dumb!

Bump Robo and rafaelmorales, I have several members of my dept and one of them is a former NYPD officer who spoke very highly of the NYPD and how they handle off duty cops when they were in NYC on vacation. RM I understand but do not agree how they handled this Seal! I hope as Robo says he gets a very light slap on his wrist!

The leaders of Newyork City need to take and understanding the Constitution Class!
The City Gun laws are rediculous! They are Just as bad as DC!

I am so tired of this New Yoork B.S. The last time I checked we still had a US Constitution and it affords the 2nd Admendment for firearms. I think that someone needs to start putting some pressure on the other 49 state senators to bring this issue up in the senate. If New York wants to suceed from the United States and become there own country let them do that first before taking rights away from law obiding citizens and officers. Look at the robbery, mugging, and murder rate in New York, it is throgh the roof The reason is that the thugs and criminals know that the person that they are robbing is not armed and like shooting fish in a barrell.

In my dealings with SEALs they all have been acting they're above the law sense Team 6 got in the spotlight.

his fault for not having his papers.
