No, that didn't happen, I lived in the most COVID paranoid area of California, and I hadn't heard one paranoid take about any police being used to break up any parties
Wow, it's almost as if other places exist and had different responses to covid.
A quick google would reveal that police were used to enforce lock down measures in places such as UK and AUS.
Victoria Police alone gave out 39,985 covid lock down violation orders in the 2.5 years we had lockdown orders in place.
The Engagement party fined we all remember. Idiots.
General lockdown law breaking
Including such crimes as, playing video games with 3 people in a lounge room, and having 9 people over for dinner.
It happened in the UK, though the rules were a little relaxed for Christmas.

> Coppers having to deal with them
Just another day in the glorious empire
It absolutely definitely happened in the UK. Not on Christmas day but not long after.
