Looks set up to me, but by which party I'm not sure.
If you wanted to do a set up it would be helpful to know when and where the police planned to go out en masse to make a few examples, which judging by the numbers present is what they were about.
I do sympathise with the police, there are far too many properly obnoxious and unbelievably thick people around, but some officers just can't deal with the ordinary public in a respectful way. Not to mention the fact that they seem not to have heard of social distancing themselves.
The one thing I will say is that I would always be prepared to give my name and address, even if under protest. Common sense says they'll have you for something if you wind them up.
