every time i encounter a 'thin blue line' of ignorance and think it can't get any more stupid, something like this comes along and proves me wrong;

Brighton, CO — Over the weekend, Matt Mooney, his wife, and their 6-year-old daughter were playing t-ball at an empty park when a half dozen cops showed up and kidnapped Mooney. The family was not in violation of any law, were obeying social distancing mandates, and had harmed absolutely no one.

Mooney tells TFTP that the city issued an order that all parks were closed during the COVID-19 shutdown. However, the open spaces at the parks were still accessible as long as certain rules were followed. In fact, the sign at the park at which Mooney and his family were playing read as follows: “Closed” but just below that part, the sign reads, “in groups of no more than 4 persons, parks remain open for walking, hiking, biking, running and similar activities.”

Mooney was in a group of three and violated none of the park’s or city’s rules. The only people violating the social distancing guidelines were the cops who showed up to arrest him.

Mooney tells TFTP that the cops showed up “and attempted to kick everyone out of the open space claiming parks are closed.” But they were wrong.

Knowing he was not violating any law, Mooney questioned the officers’ unlawful order. “I stood up for my rights and told them I wasn’t leaving and they could write me a ticket,” he said.

Seeing the officers approach their family apparently made Mooney’s daughter a little uneasy.

“She’s like, ‘Daddy, I don’t want you to get arrested.’ At this point I’m thinking, ‘There’s no way they’re going to arrest me, this is insane.’ I’m telling her, ‘Don’t worry, Daddy’s not going to get arrested. I’ve done nothing wrong. Don’t worry about it,’ and then they arrest me.”.........read more........
