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.

There’s more to it like contaminated water for one, and that leads to other things I don’t blame them better fight now, once done it will be to late, man has a way of fucking things up in the name of progress and money
OUR GOVERNMENT AT CORRUPTION AGAIN.
Time for an air lift like they used against the other commies in Berlin !
You do what is nessacery to get them to leave, this project could have been finished already, time for law enforcement to enforce the law and stop this illegal protest, they let protesters get away with this stuff and it just spreads all over the country , they block roads and highways and nothing is done then they just do what they want to do. Protest , but do it the right way.
Just wrong how can you sleep at night

THIS IS OBAMA’S BEST HOURS…UH HUH… SURE…
The cannot do this it’s against the constitution.
The land the pipeline is going through DOES NOT BELONG TO THE RESERVATION..IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY…THEREFORE THEY ARE TRESSPASSING…DOES ANYONE EVEN STUDY THE TRUTH OR JUST FLAP THEIR GUMS?????
Idiots can’t read and don’t care about truth..The land does NOT belong to the reservation, and they are tresspassing on private property. Even if you don’t like the idea of another pipeline..too damn bad… If someone tresspassed onto my property bitching about what was being built they would get worse than these protestors… Read the facts before blasting idiocy on us..
