And arrested them for legal assembly according to the US Constitution.

The police were ordered to clear them out of the encampment. They could have just done what was done in Chicago when protestors blocked a bridge over the Chicago River: they detained those blocking the bridge until they’d cleared the roadway, then wrote them tickets for “failing to take due care as a pedestrian” and let them go. A tactic like that would have worked, and the might have gotten some money off of the tickets.
