While there are criminals being released from prison things like this are happening. A Colorado man was handcuffed for allegedly violating a social distancing order.
This happened in front os his wife and 6-year-old daughter. Matt Mooney, the man who was arrested, said his daughter was terrified that he was going to be arrested.
The father tried to reassure his daughter he was doing nothing wrong when they were playing tee-ball in the park, but the was still handcuffed in front of her.
Per KDVR:
Matt Mooney feels Brighton police owe him a huge apology. The 33-year-old says he was handcuffed at Donelson Park in front of his 6-year-old daughter Sunday afternoon after police told him he violated the state’s social distancing guidelines.
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.
“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.”
Brighton City Councilman Kirby Wallin recorded the incident.
The Brighton Police Department issued a statement on Facebook regarding the issue:
“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.”
It's a crazy world out there right now, that's for sure.

UNBELIEVABLE! Guess Who Was Just Released From Prison to Protect Him From Coronavirus
A man who has been locked away behind bars for raping a child is being released after a Massachusetts Superior Court Judge decided that there was too much of a risk of him catching the coronavirus and they want to make sure he's safe.
This makes absolutely no sense to me. Why would they let someone out of jail - a place where they are safer from the virus than elsewhere - to keep him safe from catching the virus. It's a disease transmitted by people, if released from prison, he's just going to be around more people who have been around more people as well and therefore his odds of getting the virus is far greater.
Woman Arrested and Thrown In Jail Cell with Dozens of Women During Pandemic for Non-Crime
A New York City woman and her boyfriend were both arrested this previous weekend for the biggest crime of our time, "failing to maintain social distancing'.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel: 'We Can't Get Back to Normal Until There's a Vaccine'
Special advisor to the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, told MSNBC that we will not be able to return to normal until a vaccine is made for the COVID-19. A vaccine which he claims could take between 12 and 18 months to create.
"No one is immune to the COVID-19 virus," Ezekiel said, "It threatens all of us. But while we are all experiencing the same pandemic, we are not experiencing it in the same way. The first dividing line is whether you or someone you love has gotten sick. Many Americans have not yet seen firsthand what devastation a positive test can inflict. Another dividing line is whether you have a job that lets you stay at home, working as you juggle child care and video chats."
Yes! Trump Considers Suspending Funding to WHO
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said that he is considering putting a halt to funding to the World Health Organization, whom he believes is partially to blame for the outbreak of COVID-19.
