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.

Lemme guess, the cops were wearing masks and gloves.

They were not, and the man said they were in his face and touching him as they handcuffed him.

Hope Nazi bastards like this try it on the wrong people and get ventilated for it.

Following ‘orders’ like this makes ‘em no better than Gestapo, im(not so)ho.

Cops must have learned math at public government school. By them walking into the park violated that ordnance by adding two more people.

One can hope that happens sooner rather than later! Not that I’m defending the police state action, but I bet a citizen called to report and complain!! One positive coming from all of this is how easily people are identifying themselves

“”Lemme guess, the cops were wearing masks and gloves.””

Not according to the article...but they certainly were violating the “safe distance” whatever - can’t even call it a law!

Unless and until people start standing up for themselves and their freedom they can kiss it goodby. You have to attack the jackboots or give up those are your choices.

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

The sons of bitches will shoot us down like rabid dogs when, not if, that train pulled out of the station long ago, ordered by their masters. And throw the survivors into the cattle or box cars. We are much further down that road now than a while back.

Cops are enormous friends of their pension funds and the politicians who oversee them. They are no friends of liberty.

She had good reason to be terrified. They were very fortunate that they were not all killed.
