CANNON BALL – North Dakota’s homeland security director ordered the removal of state-owned trailers and water tanks from the Dakota Access Pipeline protest campsite Monday, citing mounting reports of unlawful activity -- the latest involving lasers -- and the risk of damage.

“Based on the scenario down there, we don’t believe that equipment is secure,” Homeland Security Division Director Greg Wilz said.

As tribal members from across the nation streamed into the campsite, swelling its population to between 500 to 4,000 people depending on estimates, the loss of their main drinking water supply came as a blow and sent local officials scrambling to find an alternative water source.

“I feel like I just got shot down,” said Johnelle Leingang, executive secretary to Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman Dave Archambault II and the tribe’s emergency response coordinator. “It’s very hurtful.”

A black heavy-duty pickup backed up to the water tanks and pulled them away just before noon as the beating sun drove temperatures into the 80s.

You want the water for your personal protest but not enough to actually have your own members not **** with it.

Nobody else gets water sent to their protests. Welcome to equality.

1. That's how the gov't rolls

when the tribes get together to preserve their rights. Same heartless shit every time. If I had the equipment and time, I'd be there with plenty of water for the protesters. I really wish I could do that.

I wonder how much water you got through for your bong.

I don't recall a, "The Federal government must provide logistical support," sub-clause to the Free Speech clause of the First Amendment.

Funny ... I remember DU-folk cheering and chortling when water was cut off to that site in OR being occupied by the property rights protesters. But here DU-folk are upset at taking away water trucks from people protesting a pipeline. [Sarcasm] It's almost as if DU-folks' reactions are based on agreement or disagreement with the causes rather than actual legal rights. [/Sarcasm]

But not your wallet.

Of course not. Their heart doesn't mean their wallet, it means yours.
