text: Yup, totally peaceful. Except for the flaming piece of whatever that was tossed at the police at the 00:12 mark of the video. So what's the protest about? Clean water? We live in AK and have the TAP. How many spills over the last 30 years from TAP? Is this about sovereignty? Why now? Why not when the other pipelines in the area were built? An agenda was picked, a narrative pushed and the reality has nothing to do with the stories being pushed. We see stories about police brutality and militarized police but so far no dead protestors in 7 months of confrontation. Also 7 months and this is allowed to continue which puts the lie to mention of a police state. Just because you want to romanticize, glamorize and empathize with the event does not justify what is going on.
