ND Agency Requests $4 Million More to Police #NoDAPL Resistance

HeadlineNov 01, 2016

In more pipeline-related news, the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services is requesting an additional $4 million in order to continue the police crackdown against the resistance to the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. The Emergency Services Department has already received—and spent—$6 million to police the resistance movement led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and members of 200 other nations and tribes from across the Americas. This comes as a United Nations advisory group is investigating possible human rights abuses by law enforcement against Native American water protectors in North Dakota.
