IT’S TIME, STAND TALL WITH OUR BROTHERS! 83 Protesters Violently Arrested At North Dakota Pipeline Site! THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION

As we sit here thousands of Native Americans and Allies camp and stay firm at the site of the proposed North Dakota pipeline. They are trying to peacefully, but with some needed actions, stop the construction of a pipeline that not only goes over native land but is claimed will affect their sacred land and drinking water.

This is the sacred land and place of the Standing Rock Sioux. An outspoken and organised strong tribe of native brothers and sisters.

There is a fact. NO OTHER group of people understand the struggle of the African-American like the Native Americans. They are brothers in arms, brothers in pain, brothers in every way.

This group took in slaves, helped fight white masters and many African-Americans can trace back to having native blood in their lineage.

On Saturday things got worse for the protest. 83 protesters were arrested y police using pepper spray. The Huffington Post reported:

The 83 protesters were arrested near the site of the Dakota Access pipeline on numerous charges ranging from assault on a peace officer to rioting and criminal trespass, the Morton County Sheriff’s department said in a statement.

Law enforcement was alerted early Saturday morning to an SUV on private property near the pipeline construction site and found that four men had attached themselves to the vehicle, according to the sheriff’s department. Police removed the men from the SUV before arresting them.

Later, around 300 protesters marched toward pipeline construction equipment and tried to breach a police line keeping them from the equipment, the sheriff’s department said.

Some were pepper sprayed by law enforcement. One protester attempted to grab a can of pepper spray from an officer, resulting in the officer being sprayed.

The demonstration closed a section of a local highway, but it was reopened on Saturday afternoon.

“Today’s situation clearly illustrates what we have been saying for weeks, that this protest is not peaceful or lawful,” sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said in a statement.

“It was obvious to our officers who responded that the protesters engaged in escalated unlawful tactics and behavior during this event. This protest was intentionally coordinated and planned by agitators with the specific intent to engage in illegal activities.”

The fact is, the peace isn’t working anymore. Media has all but moved onto other things and something big is needed to bring the attention back to this site.

Maybe it’s unfair to say, but from the images I have seen, most of the protesters appear to be native or white conscious woke young people. Most of this is due to location (N.Dakota is only around 2.4% black) and the fact that blacks have a lot of their own things to protest right now. BUT this issue is imminent. Imagine, if #BLM and all other movements made a nationwide march to the spot, made a MASS MIGRATION to protest this and stand shoulder to shoulder.

We have to show love for a brother, we have to stand with them and for sure they will stand with us.

Natives and Blacks, standing together, fighting the establishment, it can be more than a nice dream and this is the moment to start the movement.

A MASS protest, a non-violent mass, of course all conscious people are welcome, this could be the biggest protest in American history. We just gotta mobilze and then, from then on the world will be better.

What do you think?
