The standoff between law-enforcement officials and environmentalists determined to stall completion of the Dakota Access crude oil pipeline turned violent (http://www.wsj.com/articles/police-in-north-dakota-use-water-rubber-bullets-tear-gas-in-latest-pipeline-clash-1479754199) late Sunday night. About 400 protesters set two trucks on fire near Cannon Ball, South Dakota (which sits on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation), and when sheriff’s deputies moved in to quell the accelerating riot they were met with a rain of rocks and flaming logs. At least one officer was struck on the head.
All the mainstream media could do was point out that law enforcement used high-pressure water from fire trucks to push back the crowd, along with firing rubber bullets and tear gas grenades. Little was said in the MSM that the crowd had been given multiple orders to disperse as they were trespassing on private land and causing damage.
