A man climbs on top of a truck that was trying to get through Olympia’s blocked Harrison Avenue at the start of a protest march on the anniversary of the police shooting of Andre Thompson and Bryson Chapman in west Olympia on Saturday, May 21. The driver of the truck later apologized for driving through the crowd, and that story was one of the most read stories last week at www.theolympian.com.
