To safely remove the trucks from the street, nobody needs to be around the workers doing the towing. It's basic health and safety. Police repeatedly asked people to leave. Many refused, many complied. Would you have prefered the police run over the protesters with their own trucks?

Police have an additional power to asking politely. They can arrest people. It is the appropriate response if someone continues to break a law but is non-violent.

Either we steal someone's bank account or run them over which would we prefer? Neither.. health and safety were the last things considered here.
