They should enforce laws as written.

I'm not sure where the law stands here. The protestors can assemble on the side of the road without any infringement on their rights to protest on public land. Standing in the road is illegal and the police have the responsibility to stop illegal activity. You can get a ticket for parking on the street after 3pm, or you can get your car towed. Giving these guys a ticket and then just walking away seems like a failure of law enforcement. If the protest went on indefinitely there would have to be a point where all the people are towed away. Who decides when that point is?
