Lawrence Police chief personally takes pictures of protesters in street

[chat_noir]

Lawrence Police Chief Ron Olin took close-up photos Wednesday evening of about a dozen members of a protest group that had blocked New Hampshire Street for less than an hour.

The group — about 20 people from the Lawrence area protesting the situation in Oaxaca, Mexico — ended its stance at the corner of Seventh and New Hampshire streets just seconds after Olin’s appearance.

The protesters blocked all lanes of New Hampshire Street south of Seventh Street during 5 o’clock traffic.

They held signs that said “Justice for the People of Oaxaca” and “Governor Ruiz and Troops Out!”
