It's a photo that's gone around the world via newspapers, television and social media: Two law enforcement officers in heavy gear ? who appear to be Louisiana State Police ? approaching a young woman in a long dress who is standing in the middle of Baton Rouge's Airline Highway, directly in front of Baton Rouge Police Department headquarters. The woman is about to be arrested for blocking the highway; she stands with perfect posture, impassive.

The photographer who captured the image is Jonathan Bachman, a New Orleans freelancer who was on assignment for Reuters that night.*

"When I took that picture, I had no idea it would get this kind of response," Bachman told Gambit, adding that CNN had been calling his mother in New Jersey, trying to get in touch with him.?
