Oct 2016

from what i heard one of the protestors flew a drone toward a police surveillance chopper.. that is a clear threat to the chopper.

the protestors were barricading a road with hay bales rocks and other debris

the protestors where also chaining themselves to equipment on private property

the police HAVE overreacted in some cases but the protestors arent exactly 100% perfect either
