40 Cops w/ Riot Gear, Armored Vehicle, LRAD Swarm 5 Praying Native Americans at DAPL

Mainstream media remained largely silent as federal, state and local authorities worked on behalf of Energy Transfer Partners to squash dissent.

Even prominent journalists found themselves targets of the State, charged with dubious "crimes" such as "inciting a riot" and "conspiracy to theft of services" – for doing nothing more than filming protests and the ensuing violent crackdowns.

The First Amendment is no obstacle when it comes to advancing the interests of the corporatocracy.

This was put on display again on October 15 when five Native American Water Protectors left a protest near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to pray on the shoulder of a public road.

In response to this peaceful behavior, 40 cops from at least eight departments in three different states – complete with riot gear, automatic rifles, an armored vehicle and even an LRAD acoustic weapon – swarmed the five praying, unarmed Native Americans.

Video taken at the scene shows the police presence swell as the prayer continued, with one officer approaching the group, telling them they had five minutes to stop praying and leave before they were arrested for "unlawful protest."

So, a failure on Freedom of Religion? last time i check it is still the land of the Free. 

That is too much for a 5 native Americans. I do not know whats happening in US, they are criticizing other countries for their wrongdoings but right there in their backyard is also doing it.

It Just Got Real -- Cops At DAPL Now Have Missile Launchers -- Not Kidding

Standing Rock, ND — Over the last several months, the world has watched the American police state in action as cops from more than a dozen states beat, gassed, pepper sprayed, tasered, shot, and severely injured water protectors and protesters in North Dakota. Using their militarized gear, police have blinded at least one person and blown up the arm of another. With all the heavily armed police and military in the area, one would think that having a missile launcher would be entirely unnecessary — however, one would be wrong.

Jon Zeigler has been live streaming from DAPL since last year. On Monday, he found something quite disturbing — the Avenger AN/TWQ-1 Air Defense System.

This just implies that the rich people and the government is racist. It is an overreaction from their part that they should send 40 cops to swarm 5 people. And the worst of all these people are not armed and not doing anything but they are just praying. This shows that the government is unfair and only favors the multimillionaires, this is a clear proof of racial discrimination.

A complicated situation, if the police are equipped with heavy weaponry people complain that they are being intimidated.

But if the police are not well equipped people complain.

The situation of the native Americans in the US is much worse than that of the blacks and the Hispanics. Perhaps the reason is that they constitute for less than 1% of the population. This must end. After all, they were the first people to inhabit the country. As a start, the state of Oklahoma must be returned to the native Americans.

I don't know how to live the natives in America, but I lived there a friend. He's been living there for 12 years illegally. He Russian. Any problems he has. Says normal lives and horrified, remembering his life in Russia.

Life is boring. Get rid of the cops, arm every citizen with military-style missile launchers, and lets play war games with out neighbors.

Many Indians live as they want. I do not believe that in America, people live poorly. America is a country of equal opportunities. I agree that it is relative, but if you compare with other countries then it's not so bad.

Equal opportunity isn't what is important. If a person has knowledge, reasonable physical strength, and raw material (land and water), he can do anything. The thing that stops people is other people stopping them.
