Indianz.com reports:
Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier of Morton County has been largely responsible for law enforcement at the site and he has accused protesters of shooting guns, carrying weapons and even threatening to use pipe bombs against his officers. But tribal members told The New York Times that the “bombs” were mistaken for sacred Chanunpa pipes used in ceremonies.
It’s bad enough the feds and “homeland security” has decided to lie about why they pulled the camps’ water supply and air conditioned trailer. This wouldn’t have anything to do with intimidation and force, oh no. *spits* And seriously, Chanunpa are pipe bombs? Please, the last thing we need is stupid cop paranoia.

North Dakota Authorities are now blocking the shit trucks to prevent cleaning of port-a-potties. That's just evil. #NoDAPL

If they’re blocking the shit trucks just dump that load next to the police outpost. I’m pretty sure no-one will see the difference.
:Snort:
I’m pretty sure that would be construed as violence.
To be fair -- the media only paid attention to Bundy because they were hoping there would be blood and a hail of bullets. So maybe the lack of cameras is an indicator that they aren’t expecting violence?
Marcus:
No, that’s not it. Now that the feds and homeland security are playing dirty, pulling water, blocking shit trucks, having armed helicopters and planes flying overhead, still no media. There was no media when cops in SD were unlawfully stopping people from traveling to the camps. I can’t even keep up with the flow of information, but all this should be any journalists wet dream, especially television media.
It’s what I said in a thread at Pharyngula: No, because Native lives never matter, not in a play, not in history books, and not in life, and not today.
Everyone’s head is so far up oil’s ass, they are taking their orders and cues from oil, and oil don’t want us around, they don’t anyone to know, they don’t want anyone to be outraged.
Native lives never matter, not in a play, not in history books, and not in life, and not today.
