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

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?

[USMCWife6869]

My first thought, too. I thought they needed a cause to search.

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

My thoughts exactly. It’s the first thing that hit my mind, actually. There is more to this story.

I get pulled over by cops several times a year and get cited about once every 18 months. I’ve never had my car searched. Ever.

[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.

[G Larry]

Your map indicates you’ve never been to the People’s Republic of New York....
That would explain a lot!

[CodeToad]

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.

[SkyDancer]

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

[Liberty Valance]

Who could dare to question Bloomberg's New Amsterdam?

Maybe he was a dead rabbit and as well as a SEAL ...

[cuban leaf]

I’ve seen NYC flying out of Newark. That’s as close as I ever want to get, though I suspect there are nice places in upstate NY.

And since I never need to go to Parsippany again, I’ll probably never see New Jersey again either. I hope.

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

[Wayne07]

perhaps alcohol was involved...

Shaun Day, 29, was on a two-week leave when cops harpooned him for running a red light at 12:30 a.m. at Second Avenue and East 26th Street. When cops searched his pickup truck, they discovered a 9mm semiautomatic and three ammunition clips. During the arrest, Day was rambling incoherently and harped that he was a SEAL — but had no proof for cops.

He claimed he was an elite commando with “top- secret clearance,” cops said.

Now that I think about it, in most states you are required to tell the officer that you have a weapon. In NYC, that admission will get you a search, and maybe a complimentary “rough up”.

[Liberty Valance]

Bloomberg even confiscated my photo! Rat B******!

;o)

[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."
