We were heading to the market and as we pass by an intersection we saw several police cars and a helicopter flying over to which we saw the large grouping of people. We then pass by again after getting groceries to which we saw they began blocking off the area and then along the way (wasn't recorded) we passed a police car which they're appeared to be someone in the back as I can only speculate the person was arrested for being a part of the gathering.
I could see reason for wanting to disperse the crowd amidst this pandemic though the need for what was around ten cars with a helicopter flying overhead I would say is a waste of resources.
As for the people that gathered, I have no information on the reason, though they didn't follow guidelines of needing to stay away from one another. So having the police try and break up is natural, though as said above, the response given was excessive.
