I figured the cops should leave them alone until the protests dispersed naturally.

But they don't disperse 'naturally'. And these won't, unless it is due to the weather. The 'protesters' will force a confrontation and the 'protest' will end in violence. That is what they want, some point will be proved in their own minds that way, and they will get it.

That is the obvious next step in this progression.

For the protest to move to the next level, somebody is going to have to die. Commies need their martyrs.

If they can't convince some weak-willed moron to flic his bic for the cause, and self-immolate, they will have to rely on the police to provide the dead body.

Expect the provocations to become more and more outrageous and violent, particularly in Oakland, until the police are forced to intervene with overwhelming force and somebody gets killed. They it's Katie Bar The Door...

Of course, the police know full well this is the game, so they are doing everything they can to keep it from getting to this point.

From what I read previously, the builder who confronted a group of anarchists breaking into his building would have been justified in shooting several of them. Instead, he showed a shotgun and they retreated. So the OWS mob will have to keep trying until their get their symbols.
