24. You're not the only one interpreting it that way

My read is that they are stating only their expectations, not any intent for what they will do.

They even include a disclaimer at the end of their statement:

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may include certain statements concerning expectations for the future that are forward-looking statements as defined by federal law. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond management’s control. An extensive list of factors that can affect future results are discussed in the Partnerships’ Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnerships undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect new information or events.


Chairman Archambault doesn't expect DAPL to defy the Corps. Rather, he expects them to resume drilling up to the boundary of the easement section in an effort to provoke water protectors into taking illegal action--harming construction workers or damaging equipment--which would only lead to more brutality from law enforcement.

We'll have to agree to disagree and see how this plays out. In any case, I don't see water protectors abandoning camp as Archambault asks.
