NASNI Police Confrontation on 100 Block of F Avenue

Yesterday afternoon, NASNI police officers detained a community resident reportedly to be a retired senior Naval Officer, in front of his home on the 100 black of F Avenue. Neighbors reported that the man was forcibly taken to the ground by the NASNI officers. After calls were made to the Coronado PD, 3-4 units were dispatched to the scene at which time city officers appeared to join in the mayhem.

A question of jurisdiction: Do NASNI Officers have the authority to make a forcible detention on our city streets without the CPD present? Was the level of physical force justified? The man was subsequently taken in an ambulance wearing a neck brace .

From what I "heard", traffic departing the First Street gate was instructed to make a right onto Alameda as no traffic was allowed on First Street to access Orange Avenue, the man lives on F Avenue and just wanted to get home using First Street. But if a prior incident occurred on government property, then I'm assuming DOD has to follow and apprehend.

Comment by Madison W. on August 17, 2012 at 11:22am: As of now, I would think we need the actual story because the base security and DOD police do not carry Tasers. The man in question is a former Navy SEAL.
