After being shot with rubber bullets, tear gassed, and sprayed with water while temperatures were well below freezing , the people stand their ground. Now I read where the Army Corps of Engineers are setting up free speech zones for the people to move. I am astounded at the force and brutality that the government is willing to act on to make sure the corporations get their way. It is time to stop turning our backs to the citizens of this country and stand up to this police state. They work for us not against us. The peaceful protesters in Standing Rock were brutally abused by forces that are paid for by our money. As a society we should be ashamed to let this happen, if we don't stand for what we believe then what will this monster that we are letting run wild become. This county was built by the people and for the people it is time for us to make a stand. Every time there is a stance against something that is against the feds, they bring out the forces,We Have the Right To Speak Freely in This Country anywhere we want and they can't take it,but they sure are trying to. Make your voices known we have to stop the direction we are heading or we will be left with no rights at all.
