So he was playing softball with his family and not observing the 6 ft spacing rule, from people with whom he lives.
Cam Common Sense be taught? A couple of Cops wielding power without discretion.
I’m surprised they didn’t hang the Dad from the monkey bars.
Idiocy goes both ways.
I fear the only thing those police learned was not to make a frivolous arrest while an unsympathetic city councilman is recording and it narrating it on his cellphone.
I kissed my son and daughter before they went to bed last night. I felt guilty about it, and immediately called the cops.
Anyone who thinks cops are going to be on our side in the fight to reclaim our Freedom are out of their minds.
How about a meeting with the officers involved, so he could chew their butts off in front of TV camera while they sat there and meekly took it?
My experience is these guy do NOT like it when the tables are turned.
I heard a radio interview with a constitutional attorney this morning. He said that this is all unconstitutional and the lawyers are watching; keeping their powder dry.
I suspect there will be a slew of lawsuits after this is over, and the local to state level governments that have gone power crazy are going to pay out our money in lawsuit settlements.
There are three things that people might worry about these days:
1) There is a terrible disease and people are dying
2) The economy has taken a hit and my 401(k) looks bad
3) I suddenly live in a police state
Personally, I try to take the long view. I don’t think it’s about me and my family. And, no, I don’t think it’s about you and your family either.
Diseases come and go. 20 years from now, COVID-19 is not going to be talked about.
Economies go up and down. 20 years from now, the economy will be in a very different place and economists won’t be talking about COVID-19.
But if we slip into a police state, that’s different. Because 100 years from now, people will be saying, “Everything went to sh!t after COVID-19. That’s why we’re in this mess with this totally tyrannical government.
For me, the only thing going on right now that really gets my attention is the destruction of the US Constitution. But a lot of people on this site seem to be pretty OK with it.
The BPD has a bigger problem:
- Whoever wrote in the Police report there were 12-15 people playing softball wrote a fib.
- Judgement and de-escalation.
- Wyatt Earp Syndrome
Next, encourage 6 year olds to turn their parents in and then reward them with a free video game account!
Absolutely draconian.
The totalitarian left is preening itself. The ba$tards can almost smell the putrification of The Constitution.
The country is ruled now by unelected public health plutocrats.
I bet gun sales are soaring.
We can’t get rid of the rule by deep state pluticrats soon enough.
What you see is a preview to the deep state “utopia” championed by Schumer, Pelosy, Spanky Obama and his gang.
Just watch them destroy one of the the only hopes we have: Hydroxychloroqine therapy.
Dirty, rotten bastards.
The anti-chrisy must be very pleased with this test run for global sharia law.
That’s just a couple of miles from here. The news said he violated the ‘guidelines’ as if ‘guidelines; are now law and any jackass city council can make law. I would say deprivation of rights under color of law sounds about right.
Please understand, this was a very bad police action. However I put the blame on the on-site superiors and the local city administration. Bad policing frequently comes from bad or vague chain-of-command instructions where the LEO on the street is told to ‘fix’ the situation.
BUT, no matter how they talk of it, the handcuffs? TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE!!!
I just posted something about the rush to fascism! Here’s another instance!
The man should sue, but we have lost the freedom we thought we had.
Civil liberties! What a joke!
Land of the free! What a joke!
LEO get really pissed off when you don’t JUMP a mile in the air complying with any ORDER they give you. Many LEO go ballistic very quickly. They expect and demand immediate, unconditional compliance, no matter what. I see this on Live PD all the time. Too many times, I have seen them escalate a situation that was otherwise calm and reasonable, into something where they act in a very heavy hander manner completely uncalled for but for their inciting the situtation. Patience is not the strong suit of many LEO. I guess that is their training these days. Go in hot. Not saying all at all, but too many and too often.
Don't worry. You'll hear soon enough from Mr. Money's lawyer for violating his civil rights and false arrest.
If I was that father, I would reject any apology and then sue, sue, sue!
Mooney 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.
The police can demand identification. That’s firmly established.
Cops have become the worst thing in society. Worse even than criminals and politicians.
I am surprised there wasn’t a dozen lawyers lined up at his front door (6 feet apart) of course
