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.

If they are on Native American land, they need to get off from it. Our government has no right going on their land and forcing them to allow something that they are against!!!!
You, law enforcement, should be ashamed at what you have been doing!!!
Do any of you know for sure that the people being used to force them out are american. They could be U.N. force’s.
Another Wounded Knee obama style. Look it up
That doesn’t sound violent, that sounds like they’re making them choose, protest or eat
Its not their land so evict them. I believe Indians should have a lot of rights( more) than any American, but this is not their land so evict them!!! This is a fucking bad situation when they need oil! just which pipeline are they protesting?? just which pipeline are they protesting??
I wonder where President-Elect Trump stands on this issue?
B******T!
The protesters – mostly out of state non Native American professional AGITATORS have caused plenty of violence, like starting fires- including burning tires, a really good way to respect the earth, eh?- mutilating livestock – even so called sacred bison, have blocked highways byways and bridges, intimidated farmers and ranchers and other private landowners (a good way to get shot here in the Dakotas, self defense, hope it happens), shot at police officers, vandalized, ad nauseaum!

No it’s not they moved it! Because the tribe wanted to much money,
So, it just turned violent. It wasn’t violent when the criminal protestors were throwing rocks and bombs at police. And you call yourself Truth And Action. You should be ashamed.
