Dakota Pipeline - Protestors Assaulted With Water Cannons In Freezing Weather

[MajinCry]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the lady who had her arm injured isn't Native. They aren't "speaking out" they are trespassing.

Answer the question. Would Jesus blow the arm off of a woman through use of a water cannon, for protesting the brutality done unto a persecuted race, as well as the destruction of the environment?

It's a simple yes/no question.

Winters in ND are pretty harsh, curious how tough the protestors are.

The winter has nothing on what the soldierspolice are doing. And maybe, just maybe, that's how dire the situation is.

Nah, couldn't possibly be that the poisoning, of that which they rely on fresh water for, is of any significance. Preposterous.

She (white woman) was injured from a concussive grenade apparently. Your question is irrelevant.

The race of these people isn't why they are getting pushback it is their actions. Quit race-baiting.

I'm from Bismarck, this isn't going to end well for the protestors, people are getting pretty fed up with the BS. They're pissed at the cost for all the law enforcement.

The woman that lost her arm likely lost it from an IED that went off unexpectedly.

'We are aware of the information about the woman on social media who has claimed she sustained injuries to her arm due to law enforcement tactics. The injuries sustained are inconsistent with any resources utilized by law enforcement and are not a direct result of any tools or weapons used by law enforcement,” North Dakota Highway Patrol Lt. Tom Iverson said in a statement.

A water cannon wouldn't do that, I watched the video, there are protestors taking it full force to their head, no way it caused that king of damage to destroy an arm, if they did, we'd have a shitload of one armed firefighters, there were no concussion grenades video'd, all of the protestors have cell phones and cameras and video no way they would have not caught concussion grenades on video and been raging about it.

The idiot losing her arm is going to motivate law enforcement to end this shit. They pulled shrapnel from her arm, so law enforcement will be able to tell the cause soon.

That is interesting.

It says a lot about Obama that he hasn't stepped in here. I don't know wtf the guy has to lose, the only people who like this stupid pipeline are people who are employed by the oil industry and partisan idiots.


The more I think about it, the less it makes sense. A bunch of peaceful protestors getting treated like this is Syria and Mr. Bashar al-Obama travels the world telling jokes as his goons assault, abuse, and sooner or later kill indigenous American people. FOR PROTESTING A FUCKING PIPELINE... that probably employs what, a few hundred people temporarily??


I used to joke that this country was a police state but yeah... it's worse than that. I don't even know what to call this state of injustice and confusion.

It's something you'd expect to be coming from Haiti or Apartheid in the 70s, but nope, this is present day first world America.

It's sickening.

What do you suggest the police do? What would you like seen done?

Great link with lots of new (to me) info. Thanks for posting it.

Aren't you just a dinger? Doing your parents proud, I see.

See, you consider the observation of America's racism towards Native Americans as some sort of cooky, mercury induced insanity. You'd rather it be kept on the down low, out of sight and out of mind. Y'know, "pacifist" racism. Keep the suffering reds out of sight, and everything is okay.

so got nothing? hows that foam tasting?

 

[michal1980]

You're debating with a bumper sticker.

Aww how cute such a typical liberal turd you are.

Someone disagrees with me = guy is stupid. How many brain cells did that take you to come up with? Oh right liberals don't have any they just rage over everything. Why consider a different POV when its easier to just call everyone else stupid.

article starts with saying he isn't a typical tree huger, then goes on to describe him as a typical tree hugger.

Calls civilians gutless worms who never been in a fight, yet "Clark Jr. may never have served in combat".

Wait, who's building IED's at a "peaceful" protest? Talk about self ownage.

Somehow lefties have convinced themselves that just calling something "protest" means all laws and rules cease to apply. If you are trespassing on someone else's property or shutting down traffic impeding someone else's movement, destroying property or otherwise breaking laws, you should expect there to be repercussions.

It has nothing to do with police state but a corporate state, corporations have been emboldened around the country by being able to run roughshod over little people using laws like "eminent domain" by claiming they are doing it for the general welfare of the community backed by their bought and paid off politicians, this is just the latest example.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

What would Jesus do? Use a water cannon in freezing temperatures, to blow the flesh off of an oppressed race, that are speaking out against the destruction of the environment and pollution of their drinking water?

What a guy.

Do you honestly want to sit here and think that they weren't given ample warning? I guaran-fucking-tee prior to firing they said "Please disperse from the area or you will be subject to water cannon force" or something of that nature.

This isn't any different than giving protesters a warning and then slamming them on their face to put their hands behind their back and arrest them. Regardless of which one, you will still be here crying your sweet sweet liberals tears of OPPRESSION declaring. Get real.

Standing Rock's water supply is 70 miles from the pipeline.

Just turned into a terrorist group.

 

[mizzou]

I just don't get the whole protest line thing. Either people protest lawfully, then their should be NO police there. Or people protest unlawfully, then there should police and eventually NO protestors.

What's with the freaking "Battles" between protestors and cops? If they are getting out of hand and breaking the law, arrest them. If they aren't, leave!

 

[SMOGZINN]

I just don't get the whole protest line thing. Either people protest lawfully, then their should be NO police there. Or people protest unlawfully, then there should police and eventually NO protestors.

Because you can make almost anything illegal if you define it right. This protest started peacefully and then they attacked the protesters with dogs, when the protesters protected themselves they claimed the protesters are no longer being peaceful.

At what point do we just give up on freedom of speech if we just keep creating laws to prevent it?

Wait, who's building IED's at a "peaceful" protest? Talk about self ownage.

There is no evidence of that either. You don't expect the police to just admit that they are using lethal force against peaceful protesters do you? As of right now we have two different stories, it will take time to find the truth.

Historically we have allowed a lot of leeway for protesters because we believe in the freedom of speech, especially highly political speech like protests. It is all to easy to suppress speech using laws intended to do other things.
