But then perhaps you should not bitch about the cost of city services for "cities that have no money" when the protesters simply exercise their constitutional rights as citizens of that city.

It looks really bad.

Chuck: Protesters cost money! Cities don't have money! Bad protesters! They are expensive!

Beth: Those protesters are protesting the loss of $5 billion dollars in city income, due to tax breaks for the rich in that city. That will cut city services like fire, police, sanitation, and negatively affect everyone, or increase the taxes on those that make less than 1 million dollars.

Chuck: But millionaires will leave the city without those tax breaks!

Beth: Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, millionaires.

Actually I don't side with anyone just point out facts without the hyperbole.

Fact 1: Cities are hurting financially
Fact 2: In the near term nothing being protested will change anything about fact 1
Fact 3: Anyone who dares bring up facts 1 and 2 will be browbeaten into being "for millionaires" or other foolish labels.

The amazing thing is that Riot has actually semi-supported things that were being done by a Democratic Gov in a firmly democratic state (NY tax credits) and supported a position that Obama opposes (transaction taxes).
