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.

Epidemiologist: Knut Wittkowski.. Coronavirus could be ‘exterminated’ if lockdowns were lifted .. Going outdoors is what stops every respiratory disease..

With all respiratory diseases, the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity. About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus, and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected, or they had very, very mild symptoms, especially if they are children.

So, it’s very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible, and then the elderly people, who should be separated, and the nursing homes should be closed during that time, can come back and meet their children and grandchildren after about 4 weeks when the virus has been exterminated….

They’d shoot you for thinking if they were ordered to.

Soon the average quarantined citizen will treat cops, deservedly so, in the same manner as inner city blacks. We’ll spot a cop and all be singing out “Five oh! Five oh!”

No - I fight for my rights.

When a father is playing with his family of less than 4 and arrested and put in cuffs that’s totalitarianism.

You’re a moron sheep.

Here’s a link to the steaming pant-load of bureaucrat-ese non-apology apology from the Brighton CO PD...The BPD did “reach out” to the citizen for their overstep, but don’t hold your breath for them to publicly say so...

The BPD is now investigating themselves...Wanna bet the outcome will be the officers we’re “just doing a very difficult job under very difficult conditions”? Mistakes happen, dontchaknow?

Hopefully all four of the Brighton PD mall ninjas who made the arrest “went home safe” after duty today, despite violating the “social distancing” decree to arrest a citizen for violating the social distancing decree...

Good thing the citizen didn’t have his dog with him...Fluffy might have growled or barked and an officer may have felt threatened...

The TN stats DA says he’ll prosecute any violators. Funny, but the legislature never passed a bill to allow that.

That asshole try that to me and he will regret it.

“Coronavirus is a petty-tyrant wet dream.”

Yep. Little Hitlers everywhere (on the side that calls US Hitlers).

I sure hope Gen Z is observing well, for THEY will be paying hard for all this, in many ways, for the rest of their liberty-less lives.

Unless they stop it.

Now that the Guv, Mayor and public health authorities have seized absolute power, they will be very reluctant to give it back.

Front page of today's Denver Post. Colorado authorities are disputing probably the most respected source of statistics and forecasts because it shows Colorado is close to peaking or may already have. No, no, we have to keep you people under our control!

No, you don't. You claim to be a patriot, but when the government YOU empowered makes a ruling for the protection of society you refuse to comply or at least lament. If you actually cared about your Nation, you would have some respect for its leadership. Instead, you believe that you are in the information feed that makes our leaders act on our behalf using the powers we gave them.

Your rights have not been taken from you. If you had no right "to assemble" Internet would have been shut down, violators of the quarantine would be shot on sight, and there would be no lifting of common sense measures in the future.

You are irrational, and are not in a leadership position for excellent reasons.
