As to the porta pottie issue. From what I've read the owners of Zuccotti Park or the local authorities won't allow them to be delivered, this would allow the protests to continue further.

The fact here is that the protesters are doing everything they can to not violate any laws beyond the ones broken with the actual occupation. It's the local authorities that have vested interest in the continuation of law breaking, so there is reason to forcibly remove the protesters.
