"It was very clear rival groups from different areas were there to commit violence on one another these officers stepped right in to stop that, and they didn’t care who was around they didn’t care who came in and got hurt."Police say they moved the group to the shopping center across the street in order to clear the park safely, but continued to break up fights and chaos for two hours.
