Its amazing how little press this has been getting. Its been going on a while, since April at least. Jill Stein and her VP dude are there today or yesterday. Its fair to point out that the protesters have been vandalizing equipment and I believe at one point torched some millions of dollars in equipment(I think I can't find a source it may have been somewhere else) Sorry wrong place. I'm of the opinion that they are probably justified in that, but I can see how others might see the opposite.

Corporate security using attack dogs is pretty loving disgusting.

Have an interesting article about stuffs going on there.

One thing I can't seem to find is what private security company they use? Is it their own in house private security?

It looks like a judge has just halted construction of the pipeline.

In other news, Standing Rock has asked that the camp clear out (http://www.myndnow.com/news/bismarck-news/standing-rock-sioux-tribe-supports-dapl-protesters-leaving/644476138) "The Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council is supporting the district of Cannon Ball's wish that all Dakota Access pipeline protesters leave the area."

So it looks like the camp part of the protest is over?

From what I heard on the radio the other day, I think it was national native news, they were asking the camps to move because the area the camp is in floods in the spring and some news sources are leaving that part out. But I'm also confused because people clearly aren't leaving.
