One of the weirdest things during the occupy movement was how much they tried to stop people from taking pictures of their food trucks for protestors. They were handing out food to whoever was in the area. It's why so many people stayed.
The first time I saw them was with the video by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

Probably because they intended it to be fully revolutionary. The Occupy movement was only done correctly in Ukraine. An actual occupation can overthrow the government if you literally occupy an ever-expanding territory in the center of government power to the point that it becomes ultra-disruptive. You're effectively squatting power. And that careful protection of logistics is exactly why the Occupy movement in Ukraine worked. It was a clever kind of reversed political siege.
The Occupiers directly blinding the government by being a constant threat in the capital, and taking up huge resources. Then, the government suddenly realizes there is a Color Revolution underway everywhere else, and these protesters are a massive attack vector in the heart of their capital. It's a dangerous ploy for the insurgents because they are now effectively under siege until the government is dislodged, which is being dislodged everywhere outside the capital. Insurgents surrounded by the government surrounded by the Color Revolution, and suddenly the government is sandwiched. Meanwhile, the insurgents in the capital need active and constant re-supply to keep the government distracted and the momentum going.
Before the government collapsed, revolutionaries bringing supplies to the Occupiers were basically dodging police cars and running around barricades to bring supplies. This includes both marked and non-marked security forces pursuing supply vehicles. There's probably some dashcams of this, I know I saw one.
As such, if the government wanted to shut down the Occupy protest in NYC, the smart thing would be to target the food trucks. As you said, it's why so many people stayed. Impound those trucks later for whatever reason, even if it's illegitimate and you know it will get thrown out of court, and you've deprived the insurgents of a supply vehicle.
This is also how you know these "autonomous zones" are being explicitly embraced by the government, not tolerated. If they saw them as opposition in some way, they'd be cut off or denied reinforcements. CHAZ never had anyone try to cut them off. Power, water, sewage, and movement was continued unless the insurgents shut it down themselves. Meanwhile the Federal Courthouse was under constant seige, reinforcements were denied, and the government of Oregon attempted to sue the feds to keep them from putting up a fence that stopped Leftists from burning the building down. The state of Oregon was in a state of insurrection. CHAZ was a proxy militia.
"Hey wait, these guys seem genuinely pissed off. Uh-oh. Better call them Nazis."
And then aim them at our competition.
