swimmiesofdoom: so this is happening right now in north dakota. keep in mind, it is below freezing, and the cops have turned a water cannon on the people there to fight the dakota access pipeline. they have prevented emergency vehicles from getting through (for days), and have fired on the crowd with rubber bullets and tear gas. earlier today the cops started a prairie fire with one of their tear gas cannisters. you can call: nd governor 701-328-2200 morton co sheriff dept (they are terrible, btw, so brace yrself should you get a human on the line): 701-328-8118 or 701-667-3330 nd national guard: 701-333-2000 and what the heck, the white house: 202-456-1111, and maybe ask them in which democratic tradition is it acceptable to do this to people, native people on their own lands, and citizens legally protesting, because hi, water cannon in subfreezing temperatures is a lethal weapon. also the sheriff up there was just running his mouth this last week about how he was “so concerned” about the people in their “illegal camps” and how “hypothermia is dangerous”, so he can’t say he doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing, unless we were all supposed to read his concern trolling as a veiled threat. -- source link
