People drove from Gardner, Lenexa, Leavenworth, Rossville and from as far away as Wichita to attend a “Back the Blue” rally Tuesday afternoon in downtown Topeka. A few hundred people, some from the capital city, gathered outside the Topeka Performing Arts Center, 214 S.E. 8th Ave., in the hours leading up to a special session meeting of the Topeka City Council to voice their support for Topeka’s police officers. By 4 p.m. Tuesday, the street in front of the arts center, where the city council meeting was set to be held, had been blocked off.
