The protest got a bit out of hand, but they had a point of concern that the Feds chose to ignore.
The US federal government has become more frightening under this administration. I once had hopes President Obama would not do what he has, in making them frighteningly powerful.
For example, there is no reason why the IRS and BLM should have assault weapons and other military gear.

"Researchers from OpenTheBooks.com tracked spending between fiscal years 2006 and 2014 at 67 different agencies in 15 departments outside the Pentagon in a report entitled “The Militarization of America.” The organization, which refers to itself as a nonpartisan watchdog organization, unveiled the 55-page report earlier this month.
the Obama administration and its allies are pushing hard for an assault weapons ban on private citizens, taxpayers are asking why IRS agents need AR-15s. After grabbing legal power, federal bureaucrats are amassing firepower. It’s time to scale back the federal arsenal,” OpenTheBooks founder and CEO Adam Andrzejewski wrote in a Forbes magazine editorial about the report.
Researchers found that the more than 200,000 federal officers with arrest and firearm responsibilities now outnumber the 188,000 members of the Marine Corps. Administrative agencies spending on guns, ammo and military gear included the Food and Drug Administration, the Small Business Administration, the Smithsonian Institution, the Social Security Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration."

Dear O dear O dear .... 'Sacred Sites' again.

Let these aborigines live off the proceeds of their 'Sacred Sites' instead of government welfare that is paid for through such things as taxes on oil production in America.

Dear O dear O dear ... when will the abos who are embedded in the West's First World civilisations ever realise just how blessed they are?

Hopefully, Trump will read them the Riot Act to behave themselves or they'll be taken off the cradle-to-grave dole.

During this time of Islamic terrorism, the more federal officers who are armed - the better.

It's not The Good Guys being armed that is a worry, it's The Bad Guys.

the Indians were on their own land and the US gov with its Oil buddies decided to bulldoze a pipeline straight through it...

so the Indians had every right to protest..

so then they brought in the National Guard and Military Weapons.. also blasting them with water cannons..

disgraceful business.. Angry

I worry less about the people who say "negro" than the people who say "African-American" and objectify and marginalize the people of whom they speak.
New labels, same old poo.

I find it very odd that people want to come into a post and go out of their way to pick you up on typo's, terms, punctuation and phrases that you might use..

and then...

have no opinion on the OP... very weird.. Undecided

That's a 'moral-signaling' knee-jerk response, issuevoter.

If I can accept being referred to as a 'White', then they should be comfortable with the term 'Negro' which is nothing more than Spanish for 'black'.
