Anyone who has half a brain can tell that this is nothing more than a shakedown by the tribe to get $ these projects take years of planing and multiple government agency approvals. What I have seen that you professional shit stirrers don't know dick about this whole process. Go get a job a quit bothering people. Trump is in and the pipe is going in the ground. You assholes lose again!!

More blatant lies from the 'Law enforcement'. There's now enough presence on site from media and #NODAPL supporters to ensure that this pipeline charade stays as it is. Above the ground and in pieces.

And here I thought it was a "peaceful" protest until now. It's time to get serious with this and handle it aggressively, no more games and if they get shot in the a$$ they get shot in the a$$ don't look to the silent majority for help on this.

The development is fully vetted, discussed and probatively reviewed, and a campaign by organized left-wing ideologues opposes it.
Because left-wing ideologues have absolutely no credibility, and the activities proposed are productive and marketable for the transaction of legal products, I understand that this should be completed and not hindered any further.

How can you deny what is going on there or that our Native American citizens are being treated like 'animals'??? News just broke about the 'spill' - a big one, also in Utah BUT on private land so I guess that means it's ok to continue this crap... It's all about money and to heck with the rights of these people to make decisions on their OWN LAND???

From the article by "St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne, who is also the president of the Nation Sheriff’s Association, visited Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to view how law enforcement agencies were working to protect area citizens and respond to protests:"
- "Despite the statements coming from the media and protesters that they were completely peaceful and prayerful, it has been a fact that more militant protestors (terrorists) have destroyed property and physically beaten employees of the company in recent weeks. I personally witnessed and photographed what I estimate to be at least a half of a million dollars in damage to bulldozers and excavators."
- "I further learned that many protestors other than Native American groups have descended upon the area such as anarchists and eco-terrorists who are hell bent on committing violence and damage. The police presence in the area to protect farmers, ranchers and other private property interests have been costing the state of North Dakota millions of dollars."
- "The only discharge of a firearm occurred when a protestor fired at the line of officers."
- "Many media sites reported only that 'heavy-handed' police tactics were used upon the protestors who were only praying and 'peacefully' protesting. These same outlets failed to mention the shooting, Molotov cocktails, and extensive property and equipment damage produced by some of the protestors."
- "This project went through an extensive approval process over many years and court challenges in Federal Court have failed to be successful."
- "It just seems that opposition to this pipeline is not reasonably based upon legitimate environmental concerns."
The reasons I voted yes, is because it has already been legally decided in the courts:
"The DAP has received all federal approvals over several years and, litigation which attempted to stop it in the federal courts has been resolved. Despite this project being very 'federal' in nature and clearly in interstate commerce, the Obama administration has refused to provide any law enforcement or other support to North Dakota state and local law enforcement that has placed them in the position of having to enforce the rule of law. As usual, law enforcement is put between the rock and hard place due to various political agendas."
And the following explains that the source of the violence is not the Native American groups: "many protestors other than Native American groups have descended upon the area such as anarchists and eco-terrorists who are hell bent on committing violence and damage. The police presence in the area to protect farmers, ranchers and other private property interests have been costing the state of North Dakota millions of dollars."
And as usual, the media is a big part of the problem: "Many media sites reported only that 'heavy-handed' police tactics were used upon the protestors who were only praying and 'peacefully' protesting. These same outlets failed to mention the shooting, Molotov cocktails, and extensive property and equipment damage produced by some of the protestors."
