[QUOTE="brett636, post: 950274, member: 249"] This is not a valid, nor relevant argument. First off the government has a duty to spend taxpayer dollars wisely, and whether they do so or not[B] is debatable[/B], what is [B]not debatable[/B] is the fact that no direct government action sponsored or initiated the OWS protests. As the protests continue and persist they require a constant police presence. This police presence is not free and cost the taxpayers money. Police resources are not infinite just like any other resource so officers who should be tasked with covering the streets of their locality is instead spent babysitting homeless druggies, unemployed college students, and general miscreants who, in large part, are not contributing to the taxpayer base that funds the police who are now their baby sitters. This is a waste of taxpayer resources and the government again has a duty to not only end these protests with force if necessary, but place rules and restrictions in place to ensure they do not continue in the future, if for anything else, to protect the valuable government resources that become usurped in whatever district these protests tend to fester in.
