I don't think there's anything wrong with that part, being a SEAL should not entitle one to special treatment in the eyes of the law...the thing is the LAW IS WRONG, for the SEAL, for you, for me, its an unjust law for everyone.
Said it before what Idiot would go into New York with a weapon, Knowing their laws.
Me I will just stay away.
I have run into a half-dozen SEALs or other SF-types throughout my career, usually drunken, loud-mouthed jerks.
I believe it, and can see/imagine the attitude your faced with. But it almost seems like the media is pitting one against another lately. Maybe its just me taking notice to a pattern I have never looked at before.

Kind of like the LEOs I have run into.

Since they accomplish things 99.99% of people around them never will, it kinda goes with the territory. Other than restrict them all to Diego Garcia, the 99.99% need to learn to deal with it. We don't ask them to be Boy Scouts.

Lest you misunderstand: I don't believe that a single one of my SEAL or SF encounters was with the genuine article. There are lots of posers in the world. I doubt seriously I have ever met a real SEAL. If I did, he didn't let on that he was one.
You're right about that. True SF & Seal guys don't all look like Rambo with huge biceps, and most keep their mouths shut.
nunn is right, most of the loud mouthed jerks wouldn't know how to cross a Quarterdeck.

Mr Nunn
I had been going to offer the notion that at least 9 chances out of 10 you have run into many active and former SEAL, S.F., etc. Most don't make any waves and I'd doubt that most would brag about their background ... especially if they are screwing-up in the civilian world.
Bad apples and * everywhere ... but it'd a real dense one to run amuck in the civilian world and then thump their chest to the LEOs about being a SEAL or this or that. That would be a notion that'd probably not go so well in the military world. (Me thinks) [;)]
You covered all of your own bases on your own quite well though! [^]
Don't we still have the First Amendment in is this country?
What's that? Not in New York?
I guess I should have known. They've erased the Second Amendment, the First couldn't have been far behind.

Working just miles from Fort Benning, I have had the pleasure of dealing with many a drunk Ranger and a few other high-speed type soldiers. Usually they act accordingly, but, a few regard the local police as a joke until they are in jail for trying to fight their way out of the situation.
It only tells us that Navy personnel took custody of one of their people for psych treatment in a military facility. No great significance to that.

Thanks Nunn, most of us you don't know or will ever meet!
Had he not been a close friend of my brother I would have never known that as well and the SEAL never mentioned it or any of his business, ever
Chances are anyone saying he is a SEAL is not.

The fakes on the other hand will try to get away with anything, and will get very vocal about what they "do".

Most of them were not the 'real deal' only want-a-be's!!![:(]
What you are seeing is part of the progressive agenda.
Any cop, prosecutor, or judge who take part in this or allows this to happen are traitors, and are in direct violation of their oath!!!![:(!]
I may not like the laws in New York but if caught with a gun then to bad.

This is why I will never, ever set foot in New York City. I never have, and I never will. It's dang sure not on my "bucket list," anyway.
Protective custody detention is probably preferable to being jailed on a gun charge in New York.
By a long shot. Even if the guy ain't nuts, he's one lucky dude.
I don't think anybody in their right mind would tell a New York cop "You can't arrest me, I'm a such and so or whatever. That's a quick way to get a free ride to the gray bar hotel.

Having spent 21 years in the Marine Corps have been around a good number of Marine Recon, Navy Seals and Green Berets. The real ones, the real deal, usually down played their actual job description and were pretty straight up and humble.
The ones doing the bragging were usually the attached support cooks, admin and supply pogues.
I was an engineer type.

I had to laugh. They were SEALS! They were supposed to get wet! [:D]

Oh an electrician. The smart kind of engineer.
Ok sorry for the threadjack. Now back to something about crazy seals.
My mentor & best friend for many years was a Major at Fort Hood back in the 80's who was a MYSOG veteran of Vietnam. This person was as close to the real Rambo type I have ever come across while serving around the military. He was large, quite, serious & cock sure of himself. You wouldn't have wanted to pi$$ him off, or be on his bad side.
I recall getting a call from one very special friend while he was deployed in Iraq back in 2004. Seems a young MP was trying to get close with this Operators teenage daughter through Face Book. I tried to reason with the soldier by messaging him, but got nowhere. I then called him into my office & spoke directly with him. He left with the right frame of mind, but I wonder if seeing a picture of me & the girl's father together in my office had anything to do with it? Especially since he could clearly see that Dad was Delta!
Back in 1983 while deployed to Honduras it took me and three other MP's to restrain a SF SGT who had tore up a bar in San Lorenzo. This dude was bad to the bone, and drunker than drunk. Got him back to our base camp & put him in bed.
In 1988 I chased a Light Fighter Ranger though the snow & thick woods to stop him from harming himself after having caught his spouse in bed with another soldier. This was a Domestic situation gone badly. He held both hostages at knife point until the Police arrived, and then fled on foot saying he would harm himself. Lucky for me he decided to turn himself over to me. He had the drop on me, and could have taken me out if he had wanted to.
Lost two close friends who were pilots in the 160th to separate accidents. One who was depicted being shot down in the movie Black Hawk Down, and another in a training exercise. Both were great guys, who loved their families, loved to hunt, and will be truly missed.
I have a close friend back in Texas whose son is a SEAL. He is deployed to Afghanistan right now, and I try and keep up with him as much as possible. I wish him and all the special operators I have known over the years well. I pray the Lord looks after them, and protects their families in their absence. The life they live is not for the faint of heart.

From the article, it appears that this feller did have some mental issues, SEAL or no, and needed some help. Besides that, he was in violation of NY law. Protective custody detention is probably preferable to being jailed on a gun charge in New York.
Except that the NY law is a direct violation of our civil/individual rights the same as the old 'Jim Crow' laws in the south were!!![V]
After having worked as an LEO within the Department of Defense for many years including my active duty time, I can say I have crossed paths with many Special Operations types. Most were stand up folks that I was proud to claim as friends. Some are retired now, some still on active duty, and some have gone on to be with their Lord.

Plan old Marine, But an Indian. When He got drunk You had better be somebody he Knows.
He got drunk In Oceanside Got jumped in a Back Alley by 3 guys He left them In a Dumpster.
Another time He got drunk on base and they called out the Guard on Him cause he wanted to go for a walk. Some idiot Officer decided he should not walk in the Direction he was going(He would not have Bothered anybody or any Property he was headed out in the Bush).
Some of My Marines saw what was going on and came got me. I ordered him back to the Barracks and all he did was say "Yes Sgt" and went back to the Barracks.
Officer did not press charges for not Obeying him cause a Sgt Handled it and he could not.[:o)]
