I couldn't get the site video to play. Now is the low bandwidth demand time here, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

(From your graphic, I thought it was Trump.)

 The headline uses the inflammatory word "Rams", while the text of the article says the car 'pushed through', implying a non catastrophic impact, but nudging the protestors aside until the vehicle could proceed. Neither injuries to protestors nor traffic charges against the driver were brought (or they'd be mentioned, I'm sure).

A couple other things: The ND House Bill which would have absolved drivers of liability (criminal or civil) for hitting a protestor or other person intentionally blocking a roadway, failed in the House. (Bummer, but it still keeps us a little more civilized than the protestors).

 And WTF are Dakota Access Pipeline protestors doing protesting in L.A., anyway (fricking weather cowards?).

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.
