If I was there, I would have bought them more glue giving the police more time to arrive. Then sat back and watched in amusement.
There are GOOD protests and BAD protests depending on which side a person is on. Take the famous Boston Tea Party. People in the Colonies liked it. People in England in that era saw that action as an illegal protest. The recent incident at the US Open Tennis Championship was about some aspect of protesting climate change.
.........Which personally, I see as the #1 problem in the world right now. Personally, I would NOT have done what they did. But, I also can relate to the idea that the problem of Global Warming is being grossly ignored by the average citizen. While scientists are screaming it to the rooftops and few are listening.
