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.

Please inform yourself! It’s NOT even on a reservation! It crosses a river that goes into the res. They are just looking for attention! How many pipelines already exist? Hundreds! How many spills have you heard about???
Click bait
why aren’t they doing this on our southern border????
So fly the good into them. I do not think they would be stupid enough to shoot down an unarmed plane . That would be a major disaster on their part
Back the duck off leave TGIF hem alone go saround
Can anyone verify that the N A’s will lose a great amount of revenue as the P L would eliminate the trucking fee’s they now collect!
Yes! They are coming on to Private Property! Not Indian reservations! They have every right to defend that! If they want to protest, it is perfectly legal to do it on Public property!
Kellogg, give me a small clue on the depth of knowledge you actually have on this situation. Your posts are so wide of the mark as to be ludicrous
When the temps start dropping in the next couple of days they will decide to hang it up.
The pipeline IS NOT on Indian lands but ALL on private lands!
