As a global society, we accept that protests happen. They occur everywhere for any amount of reasons. Those reasons are seen by some as valid, some as not, some don't care either way. That really doesn't matter because the people that want to protest are going to protest, no matter what those who don't agree with it or don't care about it think. And society is going to react to that either by supporting them or sending out the riot cops. Until someone writes a manual on the proper way to protest that makes everyone happy and the Earth as a whole agrees to this globally and abides by it, protesters are only going to be concerned with what they're protesting about and how to get that message out en masse.

While we may not agree with their methods, it's besides the point. You and I can debate whether it is right or wont until the cows come home but really, what does it achieve? You can feel better for yourself because in the case of one protest I may say I have no issues with the impact they are causing and to you and a bunch of critics you agree with, that is wrong? It's entirely irrelevant.

But, for your satisfaction I will state the following: I have absolutely no issues with the impact this particular protest has on the surrounding residents of Liberty Park.
