Apparently some BP agent was stupid enough to stop Sen. Leahy's vehicle with US Senate plates. He also must have been functionally retarded, as he ordered the senator out of the vehicle. I wonder which shopping mall the agent works at now.
In the movie
The Dark Knight, Leahy's character says, "We won't be intimidated by thugs!" If only he said that during his detention.
Other than pointing at the gun (ridiculous), the agent did exactly the right thing. You stop everybody. You question everybody.
In fact, we once pulled a illegal alien maid out of a US Magistrate's car, after he picked her up. I mean, who would think that US Congresspeople would commit crimes using their
jobs?
