You have to define state. Do you mean they are talking orders from Washington DC or Sacramento? Or do you mean they are in fact part of the government?
These police officers are doing their job. If the mayor decides the encampment needs to be shut down, that's the job of the police. The police do not decide what is wrong or right; The police do not get to decide which laws to enforce. If the mayor or chief of police decides it's unsafe for this to continue - which seems to be the trend of local city governments in the past few days - the police are ordered to move in. They give warning, and eventually they move in.
These cops are part of the 99%. They surely don't work for the bankers.
