Criminalizing the Peace keepers but what about the abduction of women in North Dakota,sexual assault, sex trafficking, taken, BAKKEN OIL mancamps,drugs ? What do the ND police do ?
Read what happened to Edith Chavez when she went into Williston, ND Police Dept. after being knocked in the head and abducted.
"I kept trying to tell them (police) that I'd been taken,but they wouldn't listen. One officer told me I was full of shit.."
Instead Edith was arrested for an old traffic violation and put in jail. When she got outta jail she went to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a concussion and severe dehydration. How many extra police officers were called in to find the person or persons who abducted her or all the others ? What has the North Dakota governor done about the increase in violence because of the BAKKEN Oil fields ?
