Amy Goodman's video on Dog and Pepperspray at Dakota Access Pipeline

Pepper spray and dog attacks with children present -

On September 3, the Dakota Access pipeline company attacked Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray as they protested against the $3.8 billion pipeline’s construction. If completed, the pipeline would carry about 500,000 barrels of crude per day from North Dakota’s Bakken oilfield to Illinois. The project has faced months of resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and members of nearly 100 more tribes from across the U.S. and Canada.

Democracy Now! was on the ground at Saturday’s action and brings you this report:

1. This has gone on too long.

Hillary needs to show support, be vocal, and take a stand ! If not, she is not the leader you think she is.

3. I've been crying all morning.

I can't believe this is still happening after hundred of years of interaction. Pepper spray and loosening the dogs on peaceful, unarmed protestors! Sure, they're pissed off but they are peaceful. $3.8B is the reason. Water is life. Water is sacred.

5. This grieves me deeply.

Tears and anger...and pride at their determination, and at the tribes and peoples from across the country, including my state, joining them in the fight.

I want to see victory.

Mark Trahant wrote an interesting article about #NoDAPL which I'm not going to post; anyone interested can find it themselves. We need to win this fight, and we need to win the multiple battles going forward.
