Dakota Access Pipeline Update: 33 arrested, equipment and police vehicles vandalized, DAPL worker pulls gun on Protesters.
A total of 33 Dakota Access Pipeline protesters were arrested Friday and N.D. Highway 6 was closed for part of the day after a group marched onto an active pipeline construction site.
Videos posted around 10 a.m. on social media Friday showed protesters standing in front of construction equipment to stop it at a site where workers had been doing reclamation work, replacing dirt where pipeline has been laid.
Protesters shown on the videos called on the Barack Obama administration to stop the pipeline. Several have said the goal of their actions was to delay construction, raising the cost for the pipeline's developer, Energy Transfer Partners, in an effort to get them to abandon the project.
"Damaged Caused by Protesters."
"6 police vehicles had their tires slashed."
"DAPL worker pulls gun after protester surround is his vehicle."
Funny how the indians did no damage during their protest to protect their land and drinking water from pollution, and only staged a few animal PR shots. The cops even gave up for a few days, because the only violence was coming from them.
That was until Obama decided that the land grab for an oil pipeline will continue, ignoring the indians demands for unpolluted land and water. Then suddenly the violent protestors arrive in their professional protest bus, and the damage starts. This seems to be following the standard democrat plan of action, fund and antagonize both sides to fight in order to gain more power.
I hope they get enough live footage going to prevent any more violence.
They'll all be gone next month when the snow flies and it's -10 or -20 below windchill.
