Colorado Man Handcuffed in Front of His 6-Year-Old Daughter at Park For 'Violating Social Distancing Order'

The criminals are being released from prison and being replaced with peaceful, law-abiding citizens who dare go outside.

A 33-year-old Colorado man was handcuffed in front of his wife and 6-year-old daughter for allegedly violating a social distancing order.

33-year-old Matt Mooney said his young daughter was terrified the police were going to arrest him after the cops swarmed his family.

The father reassured his daughter they were doing nothing wrong by playing tee-ball in the park, however the police cuffed him in front of the little girl.

The incident was recorded by former Brighton City Councilman Kirby Wallin.

“He’s being taken by the Brighton police for playing softball with his daughter in an empty park,” Wallin said.

In an interview with the Problem Solvers, Wallin said, “I find it hard to believe with all the things going on in our communities, the only way to resolve a situation like this was to handcuff a father in front of his daughter.”

The sign at the park said: “in groups of no more than 4 persons, parks remain open for walking, hiking, biking, running and similar activities.”

Mooney said he was at the park with his wife and 1 daughter (less than 4 people) and that it was the police who were violating the social distancing order.

They did it just because they could. These local government depots need to be taken to account for this.

What happens if you have four kids...

Four plus two is six

They live and sleep in the same place...

But they cannot play in the park

Did they go into his backyard and shoot his dog for good measure? That woulda learned him.

Why do they even bother having cops take an oath to protect and defend The Constitution of The United States of America?

'Course, I could aks the same question about politicians.

I would recommend filing a lawsuit. The only thing these people understand is force.

One question which the Dork in Chief Crook Denver Mayor or our fat little commie governor or our completely in the governor’s butt press will not ask: “What is the policy about mosques?”

The answer to that will expose the hypocracy of the dimbulbcrat loons that will hopefully be thrown out of our formerly wonderful paradise.

WHAT??? They separated the man from his children? Wait till AOC hears about this. She’s likely to make a video while pouring herself a margarita.

So his "crime" was being too close to his family members in public? People he shares a home with and presumably occupies with them in close contact indoors... The police "solution" to this "crime" is to enforce social distancing to force him into close contact with strangers?

They're either idiots or don't actually have our health and safety as #1 priority. Apparently blind obedience and compliance are their only interests. 'eff 'em. You know, I hope the guy was a carrier, and the fools involved in this get sick as a dog for a couple of weeks. Serve them right.
