Things just got serious in North Dakota, and if they continue at the rate they’re going, they may get very, very ugly as well.
For the past month or so, the nation’s attention has been captured by the bands of protestors gathering near the Standing Rock Indian reservation. Claiming that a planned pipeline would contaminate the water the resident Native Americans drink, the demonstrators have gathered in support of them and urged construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline to cease. Supporters of the pipeline, however, maintain that it doesn’t actually run through the reservation and that a number of similar lines already exist in the area.
Regardless of where one stands on the issue, the possibility for escalation between the protestors and law enforcement should give anyone who considers themselves concerned with justice pause and make them pray for a peaceful resolution.

When the government wanted indian lands to expand west they won, when the government wanted farmers land for the railroad they won, they’ll win here.
I’m all for police, but over all this even I disagree with the police.
Thats what happen many years ago when they smoked peace pipes
Sounds like all work should be stopped and change of venueand a fair impartial jury needs to be convened.
How sad that the american Indians are not treated with respect as far as their holy grounds in this case. I as an American think the pipeline should go around!!!!!!
Bundy ring a bell
Extra r gary don’t start sentences with but, it’s lower grade.
Unacceptable
With these hippie fest liberals piling in with dirty tampons thrown on the ground and shitting wherever they want. No wonder. Its not the amercan indians fault. They pretty much want the dirty hippies out of there.
Funny I don’t remember Ferguson getting anything taken.
