It's not your "territory" if you don't have some kind of military or police that can actually enforce sovereignty. If someone harmed aperson trying to assault someone in the area, they would obviously be arrested by the MPD. The only reason they exist is because they are allowed to. At best, taking them down would make the city look bad so its somewhat of a propaganda victory. At worst, they let them exist so they can pump out delegitimizing propaganda to your average rube. At least that's my 10-second thoughts on it.
