| #9 lotp: as an aside, US Navy Seabees, at least their reservists, have been issued BDUs. |

| #8 According to Hotair updates, they were law enforcement, not military. And the fellow they arrested was up on a vandalism charge. But their actions really don't make sense, they don't search the guy, apparently none of them are armed, they didn't cuff him, etc. |

| #7 Rex has a good point, might local police mixture from outside the city or reserve officers. But what I find interesting is that they all have ID holders on their sleeves. Which might make them weekend warriors or do cops use those as well? |

| #6 Privately registered Crown Vic, not the CVPI the government buys. |

| #5 All info points to law enforcement. Differing uniforms? Lack of coordination on the ground. Afterall, who would ever spoil Dear Leader's forum? |

| #4 Why would the Secret Service wear the wrong uniforms rather than their own (black suit, white shirt, black tie, right?) for such an occasion? |

| #3 That was my thought; they were not even the same branch (if they were in fact military). All had on different types of military uniforms (jungle/woodland/etc), they wore them differently (One Marine style sleeves rolled up, one Army) (0:14), the only hat was not a military one (0:13), and I also notice that none of them had their pant bloused. I did note that the ones holding the guy seems to be packing (0:12) or something on their belts. It's not like they stormed the crowd, they were bringing the guy to the car. My guess would be Secret Service. I doubt that Obama would let the military within 100 miles of these yoobs. |

| #2 I agree lotp. Mixed uniforms, likely bought at Salvation Army or some Army/Navy surplus store. No headgear, sedan. Probably a show to rile the crowd. |
