I Care About Social Justice
An update on Standing Rock:
Police are using what could be considered deadly force now. Police are trapping protectors and assaulting them. Spraying ice water in below-freezing temperatures, pepper spray, use of concussive grenades (blew a woman's arm open. had she been hit in the chest, face, head, or neck, she would be dead) shooting protectors, including a 13 y/o girl, in the face and back with rubber bullets, causing people to lose consciousness and sustain head trauma. Flash bangs have caused fires which were ignored by police. An elder was sent into cardiac arrest, was resuscitated, and is now in critical condition. Monroe County health services should be responding but they are not; tribal health services are having to handle everything alone. It's an unlawful militant attack against peaceful, unarmed protectors.
