@uh-oh if you check out the treaty of 1851 you'll see the east border of the land promised to the natives is the river where the pipeline is going to be drilled underneath of. yes, there are a thousand pipelines that already exist, this protest has turned into basically get off of the natives land, plus, we don't want anymore pipelines built. there have been over 200 pipeline leaks and explosions since 2010 just from sunoco logistics alone. you can check wikipedia for the insane list of overall mishaps in america, you'll notice the lists get longer and longer as you get closer to 2016. alabama georgia and i believe tenessee have all been declared in states of emergency in the last 3 months from pipeline explosions. but, reasons this protest is important

1, the pipeline was going to be built through bismarck until the people complained of the risk of water contamination, then it was redirected through native lands.

2, the pipeline company still doesnt have its final easement from the army corps of engineers to drill under the river

3, a 21 yo lost her hand due to being hit directly by a concussion grenade, and will likely lose her arm. a lady was shot directly in her eye with a rubber bullet, point blank, and will likely lose her vision. an elderly lady went into cardiac arrest. another man was shot point blank in both of his kneecaps by a officer who he claims was smiling prior to shooting. protesters were hosed down for hours with water in 22 degree weather. edit; she was hit in the eye with a tear gas canister not a rubber bullet.

4, the point is 7 police forces from out of state plus the national guard have shown up and closed off roads, barricaded bridges, and put barbed wire around an ancient burial ground and have been camped out on top of that burial ground for weeks, with snipers, tasers, shotguns, mace, and everything else i mentioned, for the sole purpose of attacking unarmed protesters when they try to visit their burial ground. like. think about that. if you went to a cemetary, actually your families' cemetary, to visit your dead relatives, and militarized police were set up to point guns at you and hose you down for getting too close. its insane.

5, natives are supposed to be sovereign people. they do not have to go searching for town hall meetings about things like this. farmers do not own the land and if they do they obtained it against the promises of the land treaties. but if you could show me the sources where you found that information i'd really like to see it, because nobody that has said what you're saying has been able to show me a source. not saying it doesnt exist, i just havent been able to find it.

6, all of this is happening because the oil company is paying these police forces and private mercenaries to protect their profit interests,

7, a man actually showed up dressed as a protester, with an assault rifle, seemingly to shoot off some rounds making it look like the protesters showing agression. the truck the man showed up in was registered to the pipeline company. luckily he was arrested but. they are doing everything they can to make it okay to really fuck these people up

and remember, there are hella kids and old ladies. they are literally just joining in prayer at the frontlines most of the time before cops escalate the situation.

but also if you're still not against big oil at this point then i understand why you don't get it
