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.

Nevada Tribal Rangers rammed through the blockade, pointed a gun at the activists, and slammed to the ground.
“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.

Well that didn’t take long. 🙄
These terrorist murderers should be given no less than 10 years in prison with no early out for their crime of needlessly blocking roads which may have emergency vehicles trying to get through to save a life.
If anyone dies due to their blockade then they should also be charged with murder one with life without parole sentence. It’s real basic. They took a life so theirs should be behind bars. In a more enlightened society they would just hang them the next morning.
Thought they are tribal rangers??
They are. But there will be a Tribal Review.................
The Marxist coup is underway.
The officer involved might get a reprimand and some retraining, but I don’t see him being fired. Nor can he or the tribal police be sued as they have sovereign immunity as an Indian reservation or nation or whatever they are called.
No it's not, it's a measure of safety to insure that a potentially armed individual doesn't kill innocent people.
Says you who wasn't sitting in your car, two miles back for the past hour while these idiots illegally blocked the highway.
Open your mind......
In a saner time, the officers would have used batons to knock some sense into the heads of these idiots.......
Let's hope that no law enforcement is willing to go to work for you. You'll get them killed......Jackass
What a big man you would be, running up on unarmed, middle aged women with your weapon out. 10 to 1 you suffer from a micropenis.
Your wife would disagree..........LOL!
.
And medal-—and more.
I live in Nevada-—
These idiots are lucky they didn’t die from the heat-—or cause anyone stuck in the traffic to have a medical emergency
IF I HAD KIDS THAT DID ANY SUCH THING—I would be making tracks to lawyer to completely CHANGE MY WILL.
UNTIL the cops KNOW who is OR ISN’T “ARMED”-—I say he pulls a weapon.
Rather have him be safe than sorry.
These fools deserve prison time, IMO.
“CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE”
One was from MALTA-—a long way from Nevada.
TRIBAL LAND
VERY DIFFERENT RULES
Using your totalitarian and despotic logic every interaction of a law enforcement agent and the citizenry should be conducted with a gun stuck up in the citizen's face. You would've done well in Nazi Germany.
I suspect you are a LEO with a tiny mind and an inferiority complex.
MISBEHAVING ON TRIBAL LAND IS NEVER SMART.
TRIBAL LAND TRIBAL RULES
BEING A SMARTASS with Tribal Cops isn’t smart at all.
YOU ARE completely WRONG.
NEXT TIME YOU are stuck in that kind of heat & traffic-—LET us all know how you handled it all ‘safely’.
Make sure you do your mischief on TRIBAL LANDS.....
You missed the context of my comments here. I was not talking about this particular situation. I think these idiots needed to be removed.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
When it endangers the lives of other citizens it is not peaceful and it is no longer protected by the Constitution. Life saving Emergency Services were obstructed endangering lives, And the traffic jam presented a life threatening danger from the environment.
But it doesn’t change the fact it is a presumption of guilt when officers point firearms without probable cause of firearms. It is also a presumption of guilt when officers put you in handcuffs and imprison you in a cruiser under the false guise of “detainment”.
“it’s a measure of safety to insure that a potentially armed individual doesn’t kill innocent people.”
No it is not... That is BS misrepresentation just like the “just detaining you” excuse. Until a firearm has been identified it is pure “just in case” self preservation as a priority over the citizen’s Constitutional presumption of innocence. It presumes everyone is guilty of being armed and dangerous. Fact.
And because this presumption of guilt is always in the back of their minds, truly innocent citizens are killed everyday pulling out their wallet because they were asked for identification or pulling up their pants from automatic motor control and habit.
Why? Because out of fear the finger was on the trigger ready to rock. And the thought that the citizen might be innocent never crosses their minds at all, it does not matter, they are not as important as the officer thinks he is.
