Thanks for the reply. I must say it amazes me that people can congregate, impede other citizens going about their business, just sit down and live there anytime they want. For a city and state with a plethora of laws this seems mighty strange. Surprised there aren't mobs protesting something in Times Square every day.

Well, you can’t block sidewalks or streets. The cops have all sorts of good reasons why you can’t do certain things. They try to find a balance—they’re aware of our 1A rights. I think they do a pretty good job. They also are not supposed to take one side or the other in political disputes of course.
