To the right of him, Councilman Baker stands and looks down towards Buddy. To the right of Councilman Baker, a police officer stands. He too looks towards Buddy. In front of them, a floral rope stretches across the image. Buddy appears to be ready to cut the rope. A large crowd stands behind them and faces towards camera.
