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.

The same ones telling me I’m delusional to think my rights are being destroyed.
This BS flu has really exposed all the fake conservative RINO assholes on this site.
I posted this on 3-26 here on FR. Pardon the vanity.
To the honorable governor of Colorado, Jared Polis: Dear sir, I hereby voluntarily, and without compulsion, as a legal resident of the state of Colorado, give you my temporary permission to impose your ‘stay in place’ order from 6 a.m. of the 26th of March to April 11th, as you have written and so requested.
To support the goal of an orderly response to the immediate challenge before our state, and in order to display a proper sense of civic responsibility, I voluntarily accede to your request.
Understand, however, and with all respect due you in your position as the head of a state within the greater United States, that on the 12th of April of this year, 2020, I will exercise my 1st Amendment “...right of the people peaceably to assemble...” as I see fit and within the boundaries of civic responsibility, guided by the understanding that the Constitution of the United States of America supersedes any order of any state or federal official who seeks to limit individual rights in opposition to the 1st and 9th Amendments specifically.
I appreciate and share your concern for the people of Colorado. Have a Happy 4/12!!

Thanks for posting the Prof Winkowski piece...
I go out everyday with no mask or gloves. To grocery stores, liquor stores, restaurants, etc.
How so?
Lots of people at this particular open space park. Kids, dogs, etc. Some picnickers, fly fishermen. Very popular in warm weather. It also has a kayak course in the creek.

Agree with everything you said!
Amazing some people will give up some freedom for safety! Aspiring totalitarians love the mindset that makes its decisions based on fear!
Baa, baa, has.
Have you put gold stars on your clothes yet?
Hope he gets a nice settlement
If you intended this to be sarcasm, I apologize. If it isn't sarcasm then the comment is appropriate, reasonable and self evident.
Should have been smoking a doobie. No prob then in CO.
“virus has been exterminated….”
I expect this to be seasonal. Even any vaccine won’t be 100% effective.
Four Police officers can prowl around,
Gang up on any single citizen,
Arrest HIM for being in a group exceeding four,
Refuse to press charges on themselves
Then head back out to repeat the process???
No thank you VERY much
More like a test run - for global sharia law.
As a retired soldier, I view my countrymen as being worth dying for. There are jerks in every field, but not once in my career did I ever hear other soldiers talk about taking over their fellow citizens. Soldiers love this whole country over their own lives, generally. I do.
BS my rights haven’t been taken from me.
The right to free assembly, commerce and travel is denied to me.
I’m effectively under house arrest in a community where less than 1% of the populace are affected.
Meanwhile people are without jobs and rapidly running out of both money and food and here you have the police arresting a father trying to play with his daughter.
And you have the GALL to sit there and tell me I voted for this?!
Is it hyperbolic? I guess it’s ok to you because they aren’t going door to door yet... give it time if things don’t “get better”
Inside every liberal, there is a totalitarian screaming to get out. ~ David Horowitz.
During the press briefing , Fauci and the rest of the people assembled, were saying that, had they not done the containment strategy that they have done, that upwards of 2 million people would have died in the United States. >>What do you think of that figure?
Dr. Knut Wittkowski: Well, I’m not paid by the government, so I’m entitled to actually do science.
If the government, if there had been no intervention, the epidemic would have been over, like every other respiratory disease epidemic.
If we had herd immunity now, there couldn’t be a second wave in autumn.. The second wave is a direct consequence of social distancing…
You failed to mention:
Mooney (the guy “DETAINED”) told the FOX31 Problem Solvers he refused to provide his identification to three police officers because he was confident he wasn’t doing anything unlawful by playing tee-ball with his wife and daughter at the park.
He failed to provide ID was probably the reason for his detainment..
Also not listed: The father was released by the cops after spending about 10 minutes in the back of a patrol car.
I have absolutely revered David Horowitz since the early 90’s. Great man!
