VIDEO: Dakota Access Pipeline Company Attacks Native American Protesters with Dogs and Pepper Spray 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:

Yeah. That pipeline crosses zero Indian land. It was deliberately routed around it.

There are no Native Americans - just an argument over who got here first and when.

Oh, and the PC name is now First Nation Peoples.

Oh!

Notice the propaganda?

The “pipeline” company “attacked the protesters” .... Even though it was the protesters who were assaulting into peaceful pipeline workers trying to protect their property!

Pipelines of this sort are a matter of national security and,as a result,no individual or group should be allowed to stop them.However,it’s only fair that anyone adversely impacted by such projects (and there are sure to be such people) should be fairly compensated...perhaps even *generously* compensated.

That company will step up its security efforts and people will really get hurt, maybe killed.

You may hate the company or what it is doing, but you must respect their property rights or they may not respect your life.

This is why we have courts, let the lawyers fight.

That's one way of looking at it. Another way is that MOST of us are native Americans. I am native born to Connecticut. You can look it up.

Sponsored by Soros to stop the pipeline that was initiated when Obama wouldn’t approve the keystone pipeline.
