National Guard and police are the militarized police martial law force being used.

The FAA enforced a no fly zone, but that was FAA employees from that part of ND. The pro oil co repug governor is the guy pushing this action. I just called several FAA representatives last week, when the local oversight people were allowing a pro-dRumpf prop plane dragging an ad banner to fly dangerously low over my part of the city, below where it would show up on radar. You can't lay local FAA actions at the feet of the current Admin.

To me, this and the release of the bundy yo yos is right wingers on the state level saying to our Dem Administration on the federal level that "we'll do exactly what we want, we dare you to do something using federal authority, right before the election."

That's how I see it.

I back the Lakota, whether I'm right or wrong on this.
