More arrests. More militarization.http://https://www.facebook.com/stoptribalgenocide/photos/a.826060917424952.1073741830.825480944149616/1344798805551158/?type=3&theater The background of THIS photo is: Friends at #StandingRock please be safe, this man just plowed through a peaceful prayer ceremony waving a gun, injuring 2 people and then proceeded to fire 7 shots into the air. Women, children and elders all running to get out of the way. He either owns or works for FOUR SQUARE CONCRETE in Bismarck ND, their phone number was posted on the side of the truck and is 701-202-2107 please call and share your thoughts.”

I now have several friends there. Attorneys who took extended leaves of absence to be legal observers. Carloads of supplies. And the arrests and brutality ARE continuing. This mentally ill man actually did drive his truck into a prayer circle; I fact checked and got first person verification; injured 7 peaceful people, firing as he went.
The Morton County Sheriff posts on facebook [yes, really, he does] on his own page with his own great seal that the encampments and protests [including prayers, apparently] are all illegal. My friends who are there are willing to risk their lives. Is the American attention span long enough to keep watching? There are solidarity events all over the place, even one in Boston on the 9th [smaller than the Trump venting march, but still over 1000 who know what is happening in Standing Rock matters in a way that is as historic as Selma]
