How are they different than a guy in a truck with a bunch of signs? What gives them extra legitimacy?

Cutting them some slack doesn't mean it's anarchy now so it's a good message to the public that bylaws are still being upheld.
The movement is North-America wide. Some attempts to forcibly remove protesters in other cities have led to violence, which we don't want as the weather will kick them out. The momentum for this thing is petering out and they'll be gone soon. If they're not, Nenshi will kick them out when the timing is right, which I would argue it isn't right now with worldwide media salivating for more riots.
It's not like this is a difficult problem or a crisis of any sort. It's a non-issue. Let's quit giving them attention (Cory) and it will go away.
