Police Halt Preaching Near Pres. Obama Commencement

Two police officers approach Jennifer as she is doing a public Scripture reading outside of Arizona State University's Commencement Ceremony May 13, 2009 where President Barack Obama was the keynote speaker. The officers first tell Jennifer and Marcus not to preach in the parking garage due to security measures because the president is nearby. The parking garage is in a high place, so they are told they will have to relocate. One of the officers does a brief background check on them. The other officer finds out from his sergeant that Jennifer and Marcus are okay to preach in their current location for the time being. The officers leave them and they resume their preaching. Jennifer reads the law and the gospel off of the back of a Million Dollar Bill and part of Romans 1. Marcus preaches the law and the gospel.

Thank you for commenting! I'm happy that the one officer did check with his sergeant concerning our situation & allowed us to begin preaching again.

This makes sense for security purposes after all he is our president and I don't want to risk his life by poor security, this is standard procedure not because your Christians. They didn't stop them from preaching whats the problem?
