It was handled about as well as it could have been, given the situation.
Mental illness or not, the presence of an individual doing blackface at a protest like that is practically an incitement.
I don't approve of the water incident, but police overreaction for the water incident would have also been an incitement. Since the cops aren't exactly wearing halos in the minds of the protesters, a heavy-handed response would have went over badly.
The cops actually navigated it quite well, all things considered.
