The entire DAPL fiasco is Obama's (almost) entire presidency in a neat little package. It has everything: human rights abuses, siding with energy corporations over indigenous Americans, not enforcing a cease and desist order from the DOJ against emboldened right wingers.

We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.

like most people, I don't know poo poo about the specifics of this. Would the pipeline actually contaminate the water supply? How are the police getting away with blockading the road for no justifiable reason?

Cool, I think we should totally protest for our right to dependence on foreign oil from war torn countries. Native Americans should be protesting for their right to be coralled into a lovely piece of wasteland that was paritioned to them by their oppressor instead of societal integration and equity. Libtards. Hose em down. :downs:

From what I've seen their "state of the art leak protection measures" fail all the time and they aren't notified of many leaks/spills.

With GOP lockdown on each chamber of congress I'm assuming EPA will be abolished and we're all basically hosed in general. Pipeline, fracking, mining free-for-all forthcoming.

Serious answer is that they get paid poo poo wages to do poo poo work with inadequate support for mental health. Partner that with toxic machismo and systemic racism and you get a powder keg of bad times.

What these idiots should be doing is petitioning the EPA for more rigid environmental standards and maintanance outposts. What they are doing is giving the companies building this poo poo the right to not listen to anything. You could literally get more people behind overhauling the EPA in a loving phish lot than they have at this protest. If you want your tax and spend bullshit don't support foreign military acquisition of oil, support an organization that can make standards and hold companies accountable. And don't make a loving spectacle at a jobsite where people are just trying to work to feed their kids.

As I recall in the past ~10-15 years a lot of cops go to a "training" shooting range/war facility thing in some hick state where they get to use excessive and overly violent cool weapons and techniques as "training" which factors a lot into cops being much more rear end in a top hat-ish these days.
