The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Rangers released a statement after Nevada Rangers rammed through a climate blockade near the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City, Nevada on Sunday.
Sunday marked day one of Burning Man 2023, a yearly music and art festival in Northern Nevada.
Climate protestors blocked the road leading to the Burning Man festival causing a major traffic jam.
The climate militants were demanding Burning Man ban private jets and single-use plastics, according to a reporter on scene.

“Get down now! Get on the ground! Don’t move!” the Ranger shouted as he pointed a gun at the climate militants.

A Nevada Ranger told a reporter at the scene they received a 911 call saying that someone in the crowd was going to shoot the activists blocking the street.
This would explain their urgency and aggressive response to the blockade.
The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe released a statement confirming the climate militants were all from out of state.
The Ranger’s conduct is also ‘under review.’
“Upon arrival, Rangers informed the activists to clear themselves from the highway which backed up the traffic for several miles. Our Rangers used his patrol vehicle to move the blockade debris out of the roadway to allw Burning Man traffic to proceed. The involved Ranger’s conduct is under review,” the statement said.

Are they all women ? LOL
I live on a Rez..........
Damn, the rangers should have chanted ‘Pasty, white liberals’ over and over again.
These idiots backed up thousand of cars for miles in the desert heat. So now they want to go after the ones who fixed it.
It would be a stupid thing to carry out, if true.
They're in the middle of nowhere, which means that he or she would have to get back in a car after the act. (There would be no chance of anonymity.)

I think we need a LOT more of that.
Nobody got hurt and a bunch of obnoxious snowflakes learned that they’re not infallible. Plus, all of those people backed up on the highway were able to get moving again.
Screw the whiny leftists.
obviously unarmed.
such bull shit
The eco-Twinkie from Malta needs to be given a dinghy and a compass and dropped in the middle of Pacific.
Dumbass climate mutants.
MALTA?
I’d review as well, I don’t think he roughed up the protesters, and he should have.
They were not armed. According to your logic a police officer at a traffic stop, should just be able to come to your car window and stick a gun in your face. You’re a totalitarian jackass.
This was not on US land it was tribal lands.
Good on the Native American police!
Isn’t blocking a road unlawful?
Why is this even an issue?
They should be given medals. Half the country (the half with brains) are cheering for them
“I live on a Rez..........”
I spent some time myself on the Rez. And I have done a lot of contracting work on several Reservations. It really is a whole different world with rules of it’s own. I have seen some stuff that would just never fly outside the Rez. Over the years I even come across a couple cars on the side of back roads full of blood and riddled with bullet holes yet not word from anyone anywhere about it at all.
No one has the right to protest on a road and stopping traffic-—no one!!! Go protest on the capital steps-—finally someone (this cop) doing the right thing.
