While I am not happy about what the bankers are doing, the stated goal of the protest is to prevent people from going to work and earning a living. They are deliberately trying to block streets and sidewalks, so the cops order them to leave and stop breaking the law. When they refuse, what are the cops supposed to do? Shrug their shoulders and walk away, while saying, “Oh well, we tried?”
As the saying goes, your right to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose. Your right to protest ends when you interfere with my right to go to work.
