This happens hundreds if not thousands of times every day in America. Cops tell people to "move along" from public and private places all the time and arrest people if they don't comply. They can invoke loitering or disorderly conduct and related statutes and force you to shut the fuck up and get lost to put it bluntly. Otherwise they would have obnoxious dickheads standing their ground at every street corner, parking lot, bar, gas station, assembly hall, mall, beach and everywhere else thinking they were right to tell the police to "get bent".
And if you resist in any way either physically or even by refusing to budge and arguing back and taking an aggressive posture you will rightfully get arrested if you are being a jerkoff and beaten up if you wrestle or resist.
It may be a little unfair, but it's the only practical way to deal with the majority of people they encounter day to day- all the young, the stupid, the drunk, the wise-asses, and the criminals. So even if you are an innocent do-gooder trying to make a point at a political rally, you better heed their warnngs.
