"URGENT!
"ANYONE INVOLVED IN TONIGHT'S ACTION:
The Cannonball Community Center is open for your refuge. Please come to dry off, shower, get water, food, and anything else you need. Please come get dry before going back to camp!"
The physicians and tribal healers with the Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council call for the immediate cessation of use of water cannons on people who are outdoors in 28 degrees F ambient weather with no means of active rewarming in these conditions. As medical professionals, we are concerned for the real risk of loss of life due to severe hypothermia under these conditions. We call on the Morton County Sheriff's office to immediately stop the potentially lethal use of these confrontational methods against people peacefully assembled. We request media support, medical support and observers to the area immediately.

BREAKING: Police are tear gassing #NoDAPL water protectors, using the LRAD, stinger grenades, and firing less-lethal rounds into the crowd on Highway 1806 bridge in North Dakota. Police have formed a line with armored vehicles, concrete barriers, and razor wire. It is 27° and police have begun hosing down the unarmed crowd with a water cannon. Water protectors are using a semi truck in an attempt to remove burnt military vehicles which the police chained to concrete barriers weeks ago to keep the bridge blocked on 1806. Our media team is on the ground but currently unable to stream live.

THis is horrific! We need to stop this for the not only the sake of our people, but the american people. What is happening is out of the greed for money, they say that its in the past but just look at what they did to us tonight.
Call ND Governor and tell him to order the National Guard and other militarized police to stand down! He has the power to stop this! ��
Using Water cannons on non-violent peaceful people . . . In below freezing temp. ! ! ! Just has to be the most hateful law enforcement act that anyone could conceive of. If they did this to animals they would lose there jobs !!! These are elders, and young people . . . Humans to be honest, trying to protect water they need to survive. Who are these military style militia men who seem to take orders without even stopping to consider how these actions will play out ??? Brave Warriors you have won the hearts of all who care about life ! Your valor and courage will be long remembered and respected ! ! !
I have been watching Kevin Gilbertts feed since 30K on his first feed! What the FUCK!!!! ĀĀnd now YOUR Mainstream Media stations are LYING!!!! Somebody do something!!!!!!

This is the way of corporate greed, the people have no representation of our state or government.
This has to stop !!
Prayers to my Native American people !!
TWITTER refuses to allow this feed to be shown. Just wanting to let you know.
I thought America was a civilised country but not any more. I watched the live stream the water protectors were trying to clear the road. The tear gas was being fired was setting light to the grass and the protecterse were putting it out. This was clearly seen on a live stream. Some protectors were shot in the head with rubber bullets too. I am totally appalled by the force used against these people
OUTRAGEOUS! Despicable use of force!
Brave Water Protectors!
The people United will never be defeated!
CEO Kelcy Warren is filthy scum responsible for attempted murder of hundreds of peaceful Americans who want safe water.
Energy Transfer partners Company gets away with shooting citizens, you people Suck!

This is crazy, something has to be done about this!! Brothers and sisters I still stand with you, my prayers go out to stop these workers from continuing the pipeline and to stop their abuse on our people!!!
How much more bs like this does
our people have to endure before the world steps up to help them?
What cathyrn amador says above plus
Have all institutional human rights protectors vanished? President Obama could have ensured the safety of the water protectors in much the same way that Lyndon Johnson protected the Little Rock Nine. He could have simply said no to ETP instead of letting this 'play out' for a few weeks. When he said that I had to wonder where were all the human rights groups that people give so generously to? ACLU, Amnesty International, Code Pink, Human Rights Watch, any number of environmental groups etc. All these groups were so quick to make tweets and ask for money following Trump's election (fair enough) but their priority should always have been to stand in the front line to protect people. Their absence is beginning to be noted.
