CREDIT: Sarder Mohammad Giasuddin - I'm Going to say a little prayer tonight that North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple and Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier and all his thugs with badges and guns are hung by the neck until dead! There may be a looming showdown in the coming days in the already contentious demonstrations in North Dakota against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Local authorities have issued a mandatory evacuation order for the site near the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's reservation where hundreds of activists are camping out in protest of the controversial crude oil pipeline. Those who have not cleared out by Monday could be arrested, authorities said. Authorities said they issued this evacuation order as a safeguard against the winter conditions. Meanwhile, a military veterans group announced that at least 2,000 vets would "deploy" to the area on Sunday to defend the demonstrators if local authorities move in to clear out the camp this weekend. In addition, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights told ABC News on Friday that it would send commissioners to North Dakota because of the commission's civil rights concerns. "We are concerned with numerous reports and testimony regarding the use of military-style equipment and excessive force against protesters," the USCCR said in a statement. "Our concerns are compounded by the disproportionate police use of excessive force against Native Americans, who are more likely than any other racial group to be killed by police." Despite the looming possibility of confrontations, arrests and the below-freezing temperatures, many demonstrators said they will continue their protests. "I’m willing to give my life for this cause. I hope it doesn't come down to that. But you know Crazy Horse once said, 'Today is a good day to die,’” he added, referencing a historical Native American leader. The activist is also a descendant of Chief Iron Shell, a widely respected Brule Sioux chief who was among the first tribal leaders to sign the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, which established the Great Sioux Reservation, a vast territory that has since been cut down by acts of Congress into checkerboard remnants of its original version. Since this summer, Native American groups and environmental activists have been battling to block construction of the 1,172-mile pipeline that is slated to traverse four states and transport crude oil from North Dakota's oil fields to refinery markets in Illinois. The activists, who call themselves "water protectors," say that the pipeline traverses culturally sacred sites and poses a risk to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's water supply. "We've been silent for so long, with the historical trauma that we face," he said. "A lot of these things that happened to us in the past, our identities were taken from us, our voices were taken from us, and now we have them back and we're fighting for the water, we're protecting the water." Police State Dakotas Police Brutality Hang Them All Police and around 400 people who were protesting at the Dakota Access Pipeline clashed Sunday evening as demonstrators set fires and law enforcement officers fired rubber bullets, tear gas and water at the crowds, authorities said. Protesters were attempting to cross the Backwater Bridge and go north on Highway 1806, according to the Morton County Sheriff's Department, which described Sunday's events as a riot. If completed, the pipeline would carry about 500,000 barrels of crude per day from North Dakota’s Bakken oilfield to Illinois. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe and members of nearly 100 more tribes from across the U.S. and Canada show protest against this project for months. Why protests are happening: According to the protesters the Dakota Access Pipeline will threaten the environment and destroy Native American burial sites, prayer sites and culturally significant artifacts. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says construction of the pipeline -- which is currently slated to run under the Missouri River -- could affect its drinking water supply and put communities living downstream "at risk for contamination by crude oil leaks and spills." Many groups have joined the protests during the recent months. Activists have destroyed construction equipment as part of their protests. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: http://policecrimes.com/police.html - The Supreme Court recommends that you DON'T talk to police officers before or after you're arrested, but you must say out loud "I'M GOING TO REMAIN SILENT." To the Police: You Are NOT the Enemy (Unless You Choose to Be.) As long as We the People have in one hand the U.S. Constitution and a gun in the other, the government will always consider the American Citizen a threat. ~~ pc http://www.PoliceCrimes.com If you feel you've been abused by the police, you may learn how to file a police complaint here: http://policecrimes.com/police_complaint.html police brutality. police brutality. police brutality.
