The police are fighting a losing battle over against lockdown, as hundreds gather for picnics in East London sunshine.
That was a great attempt Denzel 👏

Well done, Denzel.
I don't know if that is funny or not! The people shouldn't complain then, if they get the virus.
Keep practicing. Simon.

Police fighting losing battle over lockdown as hundreds gather for picnics in east London sunshine
if you want it to be a sort of headline for a newspaper article it should be like:
the police fighting a losing battle over lockdowns as hundreds gather for picnics in East London
if it’s supposed to be a sentence it depends whether it’s happening as we speak or like yesterday or over the past two weeks... you need “is/was/has been” before fighting

Police fighting losing battle over lockdown as hundreds gather for picnics in east London sunshine.
Overall, this is really good, but it seems more like a news headline than a sentence. Adding an auxiliary verb to complete the progressive (such as "is fighting" or "was fighting") as well as adding a few articles ("The police" and "a battle") would lead to a more complete sentence: The police is fighting a losing battle over lockdown, as hundreds gather for picnics in East London sunshine.
I hope this was useful to you and I wish you the best! :)
