Reply #37: Assuming a shop or apartment building

[Ohio Joe]

I would expect protesters to be allowing unmolested entrance and exit. Preventing unmolested entrance and exit to a building to other people is not a protest anymore, it's no different then fundies blocking a Planned Parenthood and not allowed.

If your point is more along the lines of civil dis-obedience... Well, the purpose there is to get arrested to make a point. In that case, protesters again should be peaceful in the protest and co-operate with police when getting arrested. Police should also understand the type of protest before them and carry people away gently (assuming protesters are not going but not resisting either) for processing.
