Just hit this today as well

TensorFlow 2.x does not support object detection, yet. I would suggest using TensorFlow 1.14 instead.

Hey so for anyone who runs into this issue, I believe my co-worker found a solution. After cloning the repo you can run the following commands and it seems to fix this error.

cd models/research
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
