I am assuming that these Occupy people have to get a permit or license to protest and just keep going back to get it renewed. If the city, any city, wants to end the protest there is an easy way to do it.
When they come into renew their permit to protest, to “occupy” this or that plot of land, simply tell them that the city/county/state can not afford to continue to provide protection for them, services for them, for free. Tell them that if they wish to continue they will have to “Pick up the tab” for their police protection. They will have to pay the normal rental fee that anyone else would have to pay to, lets say, hold a birthday party or a family reunion in that park. If they can’t, or won’t, pay, then don’t renew their permit to protest. At that point, they become trespassers. Yes, they’re going to yell and scream but it’s all perfectly legal. All they had to do was pay for their party… Finally.
