Yes.
Interesting. When a group guys who were actually armed to the teeth occupied a federal office in Oregon nearly a year ago, the FBI were able to eventually resolve the situation without any major violent confrontation. They FBI didn't respond with overwhelming force, and the standoff was resolved relatively peacefully. Funny how that works.
Why do people keep saying it's private property? As I mentioned earlier, the pipeline is being constructed on sacred burial grounds, which is the property of the Standing Rock Sioux according to the treaty of Ft. Laramie. The Native American tribes are considered sovereign nations, therefore neither the states nor the federal government have the right to seize that land. The Native Americans have been getting fucked over for years, and when some of the little land they have left is stolen from them, somehow people have the gall to call it private property and say the natives have no right to be there.
You might have also heard about shots being fired by protesters. A man dressed as a protester did do so, but after being apprehended by tribal law enforcement, the insurance papers for the vehicle he was driving showed that it was owned by the pipeline company. This guy was obviously a plant by the pipeline company to provoke a violent response. This shows the lengths that the company will go to to protect their oil money.
Another thing people aren't considering is what's at stake for these people. If the pipeline leaks, it will contaminate the reservation's water supply. Hopefully the situation in Flint, Michigan and their contaminated water is still present in everyone's minds, and we saw the damage that was done to the people there. So this is a real public safety issue for the tribe, and people want them to just pack up and go home? If a company wanted to poison my community's drinking water so they could turn a profit, I would be very rightfully pissed and I wouldn't just sit around and let it happen.
Then protest peacefully without obstructing work or provoking violence.
Also what the hell kind of peaceful protester wears a mask to hide his face?
Look I hate cops as much as the next guy but this thread was a clear representation of author bias. Just my 2 cents

"As much as the next guy". You're saying everyone hates cops when you're in the minority in this thread.
Think my signature explains it all, F*ck the Police
All I have to say for people who dislike the police is, if you want them gone I'd like to see how long you last without them.
People go hating the police who put their lives on the line daily just so they CAN hate them. Sure bad things happen with cops but seriously guys it's one argument debating if what one cop did was abuse or not but outright disrespecting and disliking the uniform in general in my opinion is disrespectful, and along the lines of hating the same soldiers in the US that defend your freedom and your rights.
If you hate how things are done here, get out. If you don't then at least have respect for the men and women who want to protect you.

The question is...why? Unless you really pose a reason, there is really no real reason to just aay fuck the police out of the blue.
That is, unless you are in this protest, then I totally understand.

They want to protect me? Is that why they come to where i live, abusing and beating immigrants because of how they speak and look, harass me, my family and my friends and people in my surroundings that doesnt have a Swedish background. That come from a unknown country, lost family members because of some stupid arguments the governments cant solve without bombing and killing and the police have the nerve to harass us.

Okay for starters, this is a thread regarding US police (Or so I'm responding about). How the police treat you where your from honestly mind my tone is none of my concern. My main regards is in response to a news story about American police. If you have a problem with American police I will direct you to my post I already stated, if not I would appreciate it if you did not target a police force you may not be familiar with.
