The cops allowed them to pour powder all over the display as well as disturb the chamber. I would have hoped they would have stepped in more proactively.

This appears to be a growing tactic for various demonstrators - throwing substances at or gluing themselves to prominent items in a bid to get publicity, but always with items that are behind glass or other protection to make sure they don't do any real damage. No doubt the cops guarding the rotunda have been trained in how to respond to demonstrators/publicity seekers generally, and these types of tactics specifically. Don't overreact, don't use significant force when not required, and don't turn a routine disturbance into a national incident.

Seems like they handled it appropriately and professionally.
