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.
...
The sign at Donelson Park said “Closed” but in smaller print reads, “in groups of no more than 4 persons, parks remain open for walking, hiking, biking, running and similar activities.”
Mooney was just there with his wife and daughter. He said it was the officers who were violating social distancing guidelines.
“During the contact, none of the officers had masks on, none of them had gloves on, and they’re in my face handcuffing me, they’re touching me," he said.
Mooney said he was released after spending about 10 minutes in the back of a patrol car but said he still deserved an apology.
Like it or hate it....the following is only my opinion:
If you believe an officer needs reprimanding a complaint can be filed afterwards.....
I am fully capable of defending myself verbally in most given circumstances but will
respect authority at all times....as they have the last say.
When an officer directs you ...........please comply. Doing otherwise may result in arrest.

Assimilate or Disintegrate................
Yes, the best way to oppose an officer who did something or is doing something wrong is to file a motion in a court of law, not resist at the scene.
