Colorado Man Handcuffed in Front of His 6-Year-Old Daughter at Park For 'Violating Social Distancing Order'
GP ^ | April 7,2020 | By Cristina Laila

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.

It’s difficult to disagree with any of that.

It’s the heads of the various snakes that need culled first . . .

Where I used to live had a couple of those. A husband and wife pair of liberal kooks. I don’t miss them.

My former phb-ette loon from long ago would gladly sell out anyone that wasn’t a hardcore lib plus any females that were prettier.

Another jerk from public TV land would run up and down streets bragging he snitched on anyone living better than him. Regardless if they did anything.

I encourage all to go to the link and watch the video. I’m usually a bit leery about GP and thought there might be more to the story. There wasn’t. This was like four or five cops. None of which had any common sense.

Residents called me an idiot on FB when I pleaded with our local PD to remember our rights.

They probably did. Rats abound all ready to drop a dime on someone. Can you say Red Flag Laws.

Those who hope the police wouldn’t go along with a madman seizing power should think again.

Also, a quick look at facebook or any other social media will give you a great window into how the Nazis were able to turn the children against their parents, and how easy it was to get people in general to turn in their neighbors for slaughter.

Still think when CWII starts, the police and military grunts will side with their fellow citizens?

And we have some FReepers who think these cops were perfectly justified in treating a fellow American in this manner! After all we have a virus to stop!😒 Fear and hysteria can bring out the very worst in people.

I have violated “stay at home” almost every day so far, walking in open space areas. A mask only if I go into a store.

“The Brighton Police Department is conducting an investigation into a situation that occurred late this afternoon at Donelson Park. This is an active investigation and so we are unable to provide additional information until the investigation is complete the heat is off of us.”

“On that we both agree.”

I sincerely hope it gets better.

Yes, I totally agree... after learning the hard way. A serial killer could be breaking into my home and I would not call the cops as they are completely worthless in my county.

The National Guard were searching house fires violators in Rhode island yesterday.

Probably related to the cops who shut down a little girls Kool-Aid stand in a Denver park a while back.

But, hey, it sure beats taking on real criminals. Those guys can be dangerous!
