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.

Let’s see, they let criminals out of jail so they can mix with society and possibly catch and distribute the virus to others. (They HAD them quarantined!) Now they arrest a father for playing T-ball in the park with his daughter.

NUTS! This is NUTS!

If it hit their pensions this would stop yesterday.
They sue, they win, taxpayers take the hit, not the police.

Begs the question about the natural tension that always exists between the obligations of law abiding citizens to two disparate and often conflicting directives. One, the Constitution, crafted by visionaries. Two, an edict, crafted by an authoritarian apparatchik. I wonder which I should follow? Hmmm.

Wow. Once again, I just don’t get some people. We are Americans and one big family, even when we disagree. I guess I just don’t have the desire to control anyone, despite them doing something I don’t think is wise. Invaders or enemy military are understandable to engage with violence, but not my fellow Americans.

I’m just one out of millions of veterans, but I hope that I instilled better values in my soldiers.
