After dumping the glitter, she yelled, “For the animals in the labs! Harvard, shut down the baby monkey labs now!” The crowd erupted in jeering and booing, while Garber could be heard off-camera saying, “It’s fine. I could use a little glitter.”

Police will usually ask if you want to press charges, because a lot of things are a waste of time to try to charge if the victim doesn’t want to move forward with the case (which involves some investment of time and inconvenience). Domestic violence is an exception; the cops a lot of times are legally required to take some kind of action regardless of what anyone involved has to say about it.
But yes, the actual decision of whether to do anything or not in terms of criminal charges is up to the prosecutors, not the victim, which sometimes leads to some pretty fucked up situations.
