Tear gas, freezing cold water and rubber bullets were used to disperse a crowd of 400 protesters at the Dakota Access Pipeline in clashes late Sunday and early Monday that left more than 150 activists and one law enforcement officer injured.

It's a good start. Hard to protest when you're freezing to death.

[stars & stripes forever]

[400 protesters]

400 environmental terrorists

I do not see a downside here.

[BigEdLB]

As libs like to say, “This is truly chilling”

[Gay State Conservative]

And as the pipeline is being built these same pigs will complain that those working on it only make $40/hr plus benefits.

Buncha’ uncaring cops. They should have soaked them in steaming piping hot water afterwards to thaw them out s/

I do not see a downside here.

I do. One police officer injured.

I have a friend who left Fargo because of their winters.
Winter CAN last from November to April.

They can always move....

It’s not even on Indian land. Just shoot the morons.

Yeah, I figured that the morons would be making stupid comments like this one.

[doc maverick]

morons are going out there and protesting of their own free will....no one is forcing them to do it. Therefore, they are responsible for getting hit with water.
Fricken left never takes responsibility for their own actions.
Scum of the population.....

Poor cold, wet protestors. Give ‘em a break—use flame throwers to disperse the assholes.

[ctdonath2]

Interesting how they won’t give up gasoline-engine automobiles.

NIMBY isn’t a solution.

[reaganaut]

That’ll learn ya.

I farm near there and the Indians are mad about it not going through the Reservation but around it because they want the money (and its a lot of money)

[stylin19a]

unless you are JFnKerry

[RayChuang88]

In short, the protest is actually over money, which the Left is going out their way to ignore.

[Old Yeller]

[trisham]

Too bad. I almost posted that.

[12chachacha]

The Indians said that they wanted some “Fire water” so they “fired” the “water” cannon, what’s the big deal?

[lonevoice]

LOL!
