Ohio troopers headed to N.D. pipeline protest

A contingent from the Ohio State Highway Patrol left Dayton this morning to assist North Dakota officials with security in protests over a pipeline.

Thirty-seven Ohio troopers from all over the state are en route to the site, officials said this morning.

Law enforcement is returning to its roots - suppressing opposition to corporations and protecting the private property of the elites.

Just assholes. Native Americans aren't backing down, aren't quitting aren't going away--they are winning small victories. Their youth are inspired. They are well organized on social media,


All they want is clean water.

And by "up here" I mean that I live straight north of the protest in the same county (Morton Co.) that was charging Amy Goodman with rioting. Embarrassing. There are helicopters going over my house all the time to fly out there. Police cars driving to nearby hotels and Walmart all the time from all over the state and outside the state. It makes me sick. I feel powerless.
