If he showed up as in a "blue man group" type outfit would anyone have objected?
If we view ourselves as a tolerant society we need to accept his right to be there like that.

Maybe, but arresting a guy for throwing water would have likely escalated the situation. The police got the person out of there safely and diffused the situation. Mission accomplished. Police officers are allowed to use their discretion when it comes to these things.
