K9's, Pepper Spray, Denver Mercs...Tales from the Front Weds Sept 7th 2016

in #pipeline8 years ago

Ok well for everyone that was living under a rock the last few days the pipeline protests in ND took a violent turn when Private military contractors were brought in as "Security". But before I go there let me catch people up to speed on WHY this section of the pipeline and the tactics are so critical.
The area in question is the resting place for our Sacred Stones which are stone designs where our forefathers came to pray and to be the resting place for those that went before us. The tribe had proved it's point in court but before the state and tribal historic preservation officials could get to the site, Dakota Access used the court papers describing the tribal area as a map of sorts to direct the construction equipment what areas to target before officials could get to the site and make a more thorough examination.
So construction vehicles were spotted early Sat morning and everyone rushed to the site where we were met by Private Military Contractors from "Group 4 Security" armed with Pepper spray and K9 units, initially the K9 units were used against mounted horsemen which spilled into a free for all whereby the contractors released their K9 units several times on unarmed protesters 2 of the protesters injured by Dog Bites were a small child and a pregnant woman. Several times these contractors made comments like "Im gonna shoot you in the face!! BACK UP!!" and violent shoves backwards in a effort to injure protesters, but to their credit the water protectors remained non violent.
So heres to the people standing up for environmental issues and social justice

It's a shame this didn't get more votes, you should keep doing update pieces every few days and link to youtube news pieces by TYT or Democracy now... seems to be hard to get recognition on here, if a whale doesn't see it then it's hard to get to the front page where this topic deserves to be. but a few whale votes could help you and the DC trip out so I'd keep writing.
