Crickets from the Press: Not Guilty Verdict Exposes the Town of Parker’s Arrest Farce

Do you hear that? That deafening silence? That’s the sound of Colorado’s so-called “journalists” ghosting the public after a Parker Municipal Court jury dropped a reality bomb on their narrative. On Good Friday, no less, April 18, four men, all ticket holders at Parker’s PrideFest Event, were found “NOT GUILTY” of trespassing. That’s right, “not guilty. " But you haven’t read a single word about it in the Parker Chronicle, Denver Post, the Colorado Sun, much less a TV station. Hmmmm, why is that?

Let’s rewind. Remember last August, when Parker Police suited up as if it were Tiananmen Square? Snipers, drones, K9 units, mobile command centers, and enough officers to fend off a zombie invasion. They were all deployed to “protect” the Douglas County Pride event from… wait for it…. prayers, yes, you read that correctly, “Prayers”. Yep, these four men who dared to enter the event while holding tickets were arrested for breaking rules that not even the event organizers could name while on the court stand, not one!

The Parker PD officer in charge admitted under oath that he was merely going to escort the men out, but then mysteriously received orders from an unknown superior to make arrests while he was inside the mobile command center. Conveniently, he couldn’t remember who issued that command. That alone should send chills down the spine of anyone who still believes in civil liberties. If someone can order your arrest anonymously while you're praying peacefully with a ticket in hand, we’ve officially crossed into banana republic territory.

Let’s talk taxpayer dollars. The Town of Parker squandered a fortune transforming a community park into what looked like a military staging ground. Then came the expense of this circus of a trial. And for what? A verdict that confirms what we already knew: these men broke no laws. But don’t expect accountability. The Parker Mayor, Town Council, and Town Manager are spending your money like drunken sailors. You voted for this, Parker. How’s that working out?

Let this verdict serve as a warning: The truth will come out. And when it does, don’t expect the press to cover it if the news does not fit their narrative.
