About 76 Dakota Access protesters were arrested Wednesday after they set up a new camp on private land and then tried to stop law enforcement from reaching the encampment.
The arrests at the impromptu Last Child Camp came as law enforcement and the Standing Rock Sioux coordinated to clear garbage from protest sites located in the floodplain before the spring snow melt.
“Law enforcement showed great restraint, enduring verbal abuse and taunts and protesters resisting arrest but did not make use of any less-than-lethal munitions,” said the Morton County Sheriff’s Department in a Wednesday statement.
Officers met first on the Backwater Bridge with representatives of the hastily constructed camp and asked them to dismantle their tents and teepees, but after multiple warnings, “they did not show signs of starting to leave,” the department said.
“Our law enforcement officers conducted themselves in a safe and responsible manner,” said Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier. “Regardless of this incident, it is our desire to continue the dialogue with tribal and camp leaders so that the camps continue to be cleaned and protesters leave prior to the flooding season.”
Among those arrested for trespassing was Chase Iron Eyes, the 2016 Democratic candidate for North Dakota’s lone congressional seat, who lost to Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer.

These protesters, who supposedly are there to 'save the environment' left so much garbage it would have washed into the river they were guarding from pipeline pollution.

Note even the failed Democratic representative got himself arrested.

I hope that ND gets its income taxes from these paid trespassers. http://www.wnd.com/2017/01/north-dakota-wants-hired-pipeline-protesters-to-pay-income-taxes/

being booked in jail identifies them quite nicely.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Yes, it does identify them nicely. And if you make money off the Res, even if you live on it, it is subject to Federal Taxes as well.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

An important question the prosecutor should ask each and every one of them:

"Who's paying you to stay here?"

The money trail is apt to flow through several layers of organizations. Political laundering.
