Well, let's say this is the case, though I doubt it. If something is going 
to cause or incite public violence/danger then it is well within the 
authority of the local government to refuse permits/permission so as to 
prevent such violence/danger.

Further the local government has no obligation to go to any efforts to 
change the situation. Now if the operators of the float want to hire 
adequate security to overcome the concerns of the local government, then 
they are certainly free to do so, but it's not up to the local government to 
resolve such issues even if they could.
