From this:

…two NOPD officers threatened workers from a charitable organization [Barefoot Doctors’ Academy] cleaning a park and providing free food and medical care to the needy. A CityBusiness reporter was forcibly ejected from the park while taking photos.

NOPD public information officials did not answer phone calls to comment on the incident…

Another group involved was the "Rainbow Family of Living Light, a national coalition focused on community building and alternative lifestyles". Missouri National Guard troops arrived and chased off the cops.
