htufail Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline Company Attacks Native American #nodapl Protesters with Dogs and Pepper Spray - a Democracy Now! Special Report on #StandingRock. More: ow.ly/c9Jc303SkTI I came across this link a few days ago and I was hoping to get some clearification on what is going on. From what I know so far, the issue appears to be that an oil company is trying to run an oil pipe line through Native American land. I see that the media is claiming that the dispute is over clean drinking water that may be affected. I have seem other sources claiming that the dispute is more about constructing over sacret land. Any thoughts?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algernon Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hard to figure out what the truth is. The water issue is the fact the pipelines run over some major rivers, and unfortunately pipelines have a tendency to leak. Some things I've read said none of the pipelines run over the natives land. Who knows what the truth is, we do know whoever has the most money will win though, and unfortunately when you can print it, you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htufail Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 I hear now that the national guard has been deployed to region. I just don't understand why the media is not taking about anything that is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why the media is not taking about anything that is going on. 1 - They're just "Indians" (Native Americans) 2 - They aren't armed with weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCaliGirl Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Not sure how FDR hasn't prioritized a video on this; it's been blowing up social media for over a month now and looks to be escalating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the Pipeline employees are infiltrating the protests and causing violence. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts?.. As far as I can tell after watching Amy Goodman who seems to be covering this story in some depth, your right it's about local water supplies and native burial grounds which are supposed to be, by law, protected. The pipelines run very close to them and as Aljernon said, they tend to leak. There have been several of these leaks covered recently on Democracy Now. It's going to get worse, the army corp of engineers is now involved, hundreds have been arrested, including Amy Goodman and actress Shailine Woodley but the mainstream media seems to be ignoring it. Obama recently stated that they may use the army corp of engineers to move the pipeline away from these areas, but he wanted to wait and see what happened. In the mean time, drone flights have been banned over the area to stop protestors filming and the police continue to use Pepper Spray, Dogs and Rubber Bullets on protestors.
