U.S. military veterans were building barracks on Friday at a protest camp in North Dakota to support thousands of activists who have squared off against authorities in frigid conditions to oppose a multibillion-dollar pipeline project near a Native American reservation.
Veterans volunteering to be human shields have been arriving at the Oceti Sakowin camp near the small town of Cannon Ball, where they will work with protesters who have spent months demonstrating against plans to route the Dakota Access Pipeline beneath a lake near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, organizers said.
The Native Americans and protesters say the $3.8 billion pipeline threatens water resources and sacred sites.
Some of the more than 2,100 veterans who signed up on the Veterans Stand for Standing Rock group's Facebook page are at the camp, with hundreds more expected during the weekend. Tribal leaders asked the veterans, who aim to form a wall in front of police to protect the protesters, to avoid confrontation with authorities and not get arrested.

Who is shooting the water cannons? Is this part of Obama’s legacy?

Nope, just a penny ante tin horn misdemeanor bail jumper.
Dingbat she is.
Thanks, I’d forgotten Clark was involved at Waco. So was the disgraceful Eric Holder. At that time he was Deputy Attorney General. He was really running the show at DOJ, not Janet Reno. Recently I read something that made me think Hillary might’ve had a hand in it too.
Oh yeah, no doubt, that's about her speed (See: Clinton body count)
It fits right in with her whacked-out, sick and twisted crowd (spirit cooking queers, munchers and other child molesters)...including Reno, Sick Willie, and Obama.
Talk about a real "basket of deplorables".
The excuse given at the time was that Serb TV was "spreading propaganda." WHAT? Since when do we bomb a 100% civilian building that is nowhere near the military action (Belgrade is far removed from Kosovo).
It was the equivalent of, say, Russia ordering an airstrike on the CNN building in Atlanta because they didn't like what CNN was saying about Russia.
The American media never made a big deal of this, even though it was their fellow journalists who were attacked. Maybe most Americans don't even remember Clinton's war, because the MSM gave the Clintons a pass. But I do, just like I remember Waco like it was yesterday.
Oil trains constantly cross the river at Bismarck right now.
There’s so much hypocrisy in the protest. Using oil products to protest oil and the most ironic thing is that Standing Rock Chairman Archambault owns a gas station and is making a killing selling oil products to protesters.
