Cannonball, ND – While there is certainly no lack of blame to go around as to who is responsible for the standoff taking place at Standing Rock, numerous specific government officials are directly responsible for turning the peaceful protest in something resembling a militarized war zone.

The increased militarism on the part of the state began when North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple declared a state of emergency in response to the growing protests against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL).

Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier then utilized the Emergency Management Assistance compact to call on law enforcement agencies in six states surrounding North Dakota – with numerous police agencies from neighboring states responding.

Last Thursday, the heavily militarized police engaged in a violent raid on the “Treaty Camp” — which saw over 140 people arrested — using heavy weapons, rubber bullets, chemical weapons and armored police tanks. The vicious assault was caught on video by many of the water protectors and journalists covering the protests.

Less than a week later, law enforcement again responded violently – this time to water protectors attempting to build a wooden footbridge across a creek linking a Native encampment and the Dakota Access Pipeline construction area for a prayer ceremony.

People nationwide have taken notice of the brutality being perpetrated against the water protectors, and have begun taking solidarity actions to stand with Standing Rock. This week over 1 million people checked-in to Standing Rock on Facebook in an effort to usurp alleged social media geolocation mining by law enforcement.

People across the country are coming to a realization that police are being employed, at the taxpayers’ expense, to operate as a private security force for big oil interests.

If you are tired of seeing police used as corporate enforcers please take the time to call this list of government officials, put together by Yes Magazine, that have contributed to the militarization of Standing Rock.

Some of these officials have relented and recalled their police from Standing Rock, but many still refuse. If you are tired of the militarized response to peaceful protest, then please share this important information!
