Water Protectors had their own Intel at Standing Rock
Article by Censored News

TigerSwan mercenaries and other security hired by Dakota Access Pipeline were photographed by water protectors at Standing Rock.
The role of TigerSwan -- U.S. mercenaries in Afghanistan hired by Dakota Access Pipeline to oversee its private security in Standing Rock -- was exposed last week in documents leaked to The Intercept.
In a separate report, Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier identified TigerSwan as being in charge of all the other security companies hired by DAPL, which confirms the contents of the documents leaked to The Intercept.
Kirchmeier said 10 Code and Silverton were Dakota Access Pipeline's security guards present  during the dog attack on water protectors on Sept. 3. Frost Kennels brought those dogs, he said.
In October, Kirchmeier said the pipeline security companies hired by DAPL, and working under TigerSwan were: Leighton Security and HE Security for equipment at work sites, 10 Code and Russle Group Security in charge of drilling operations, and SRG Security in charge of filming operations.
In his report, Kirchmeier said neither TigerSwan nor Frost Kennels are licensed to work in North Dakota.
Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier was responsible for the massive convoy of militarized police at Standing Rock, resulting in injuries to unarmed water protectors from tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannons in freezing temperatures.
In an October report, Kirchmeier confirmed the identity of a second one of the dog handlers responsible for the vicious attack on unarmed water protectors. Native Americans and their allies were defending burial places from bulldozers on Sept. 3.
Previously Ashley Welch was identified. Ricardo Bullard, below, is the second dog handler identified.
