Standing Rock Protests

[davsel]

Regardless of the why or the who, using water cannons in the winter on unarmed people is ridiculous. When Ammon Bundy took over the wildlife refuge we had a bunch of sympathetic folks on this forum for them, even though it is arguable that the Bundys had less standing in that case.

Appears water hoses were used to put out fires started by protesters as well as dousing those who got too close to the line. The vast majority of protesters remained dry.

I'm not taking a side, just pointing out that there are two sides to every "news story."

And here's another view.

This one shows the other side of the fire, where there's nothing but protesters 1.04mark. Then pans to the other side where "fires" were.




Personally the whole deal is fukied. It seems the people showing up now are more interested in a T-Shirt, than what the original protest was about. Once again co-opted by outside forces.
