The ruling aside, I've been comparing this case to the dapl protests and I think it reveals the importance of the second amendment. The reason law enforcement didn't remove the occupiers is because they had guns and said that they would fight back. No law enforcement commander wants to be responsible for the next Waco incident. From what I've watched, the dapl protesters don't have any weapons so LE could dismantle their camp without fear of resistance.

I dunno... Seems like LE could just get a sniper, if the started shooting. Shit, they all have fucking tanks nowadays... What do they have to be afraid of? Saginaw, MI had a fucking tank. Saginaw, MI is boring ass suburbia, where nothing ever happens. Nothing requiring a tank anyway. I don't blame the cops though... I want a fuckin tank too!
Honestly, I hate to drag race into this, but I really do think those guys wouldn't have gotten off had they not been white. I also think the Natives wouldn't be getting so horribly brutalized if they were white folks. The pepper-spray jets, bean bag guns, rubber bullets, and tear gas need to stop. They do this shit to peaceful protestors. The natives are more than protesters though, in this situation...
Another factor that almost certainly plays a role in the ND Pipeline situation is the simple fact that big oil is behind it. In North Dakota, oil is their bread and butter.
I think the most despicable part of the whole thing isn't the oil companies, or the whiny assholes bitching about the natives fucking up their property (ironic, huh?), or President Obama sitting on his fucking ass, when he should have stepped in right away. The most despicable part, to me, is the fact that no matter where a protest is going on in the country, the police are willing to do horrible things to US citizens who are peacefully practicing their right to free speech. In this particular situation, there were a couple police officers who turned in their badges (from what I have heard), so that's nice to hear. That is an admirable display of courage, and they deserve our appreciation. They forfeited a paycheck to preserve their integrity.
Imo... The natives have every right to use whatever means necessary, though violence is never an appealing option.
