Some sheriff departments are refusing to send reinforcements to the police at Standing Rock. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. https://www.tytnetwork.com/join
“In response to an increasingly furious public outcry, sheriffs from around the country have refused to send personnel and equipment to assist the Morton County Sheriff’s Department in guarding construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
A massive campaign of angry phone calls and indignant emails to departments planning to travel to North Dakota succeeded in persuading multiple sheriffs — elected officials — the brutal tactics used against peaceful Standing Rock Sioux and other water protectors have been a gross abuse of power.
That law enforcement have employed disproportionate force against water protectors is irrefutable; and while Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier might technically be tasked with ensuring Dakota Access can proceed where legally permitted, he is indisputably responsible for protecting people exercising their First Amendment rights.
Clearly, to the appalled constituents and people around the world voicing outrage against Morton County and other departments, officers have completely dismissed that protection — and, instead, acted as a rogue standing army, intentionally targeting medics, journalists, and water protectors with everything from rubber bullets and tear gas, to icy water and concussion grenades.”

So liberals where is Obama your golden boy? Silent and all he has to do is
go there one time and this shit ends .
Here’s an idea, maybe each side should appoint some representatives and
they should work together toward an acceptable compromise. I don’t think
either side is planning to give up and walk away any time soon.
My grandfather helped start the unions in West Virginia and he would tell
me stories how they just didn’t have to fight the company and their thugs
but they also had to fight the local government and the police. Times
change very little.
full.of shit. I’m down there quiet a bit and sheriff departments from
Montana, ND, SD, Minnesota, and Iowa there.
