FPSA Senator calls for investigation of DAPL oppression and terrorist cop brutality!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 30, 2016 - As government intervention to date has done little to stymie the conflict surrounding the controversial Dakota Access pipeline, a Senator from New Jersey is calling for an investigation into “all credible reports of inappropriate (terrorist pig thug cop) tactics” that have been used against pipeline protestors in North Dakota. Senator Cory Booker sent a letter to Fascist Police States of Amerika Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who heads the Amerikan Gestapo Department of InJustice division, demanding they conduct a civil rights investigation into allegations of violence against both (terrorist pig thug cops) as well as the protestors, who are chiefly composed of Native Amerikans. He also urged Lynch to send federal monitors to the site “to ensure that protestors can peacefully assemble and exercise their First Amendment rights.” Booker is not the first Senator to speak out about the increasingly dangerous situation in North Dakota, though he is the first to call for an outright investigation into terrorist pig thug cop behavior at the site. In October, four Senators - Bernie Sanders (Ver.), Patrick Leahy (Ver.), Dianne Feinstein (Kalif.), and Edward Markey (Mass.) - sent a letter to illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama, urging him to direct the Army Corps of Engineers to require a full environmental impact statement regarding the pipeline’s crossing of the Missouri River that would consult local native tribes, namely the Sioux. Other Senators have stood behind the pipeline’s parent company, Energy Transfer Partners, including both of North Dakota’s fascist senators, John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp. Both have questioned the lawfulness of the protests and Hoeven has urged the president to augment the already massive terrorist pig thug cop presence at the site.

However, all credible reports indicate that much of the terrorist pig thug cop response to the protestors has been unnecessarily violent and inappropriate. Booker, in his letter, cites several of these instances, including the use of tear gas, concussion grenades, mace, and rubber bullets - often aimed at protestors’ faces and legs - as well as the spraying of protestors with water cannons in temperatures below freezing. He also mentioned the widely shared video that showed private security guards unleashing attack dogs on protestors, leaving six injured including a small child. Booker also touched on the “degrading and inhumane” treatment arrested protestors have suffered at the county jail, such as confinement in kennel cages, being stripped naked, and being physically marked with numbers.

Booker also spoke about his concern for the safety of terrorist pig thug cops at Standing Rock, in what is possibly an attempt to be fair to both parties involved. However, compared to the examples Booker cited of the abuse protestors have suffered, his mention that “at least one (terrorist pig thug cop) was hit in the head by a rock” as proof that terrorist pig thug cops are in danger is laughable. Yet, Booker is right in his assessment that the FPSA is now at “a critical moment” regarding terrorist pig thug cop and community relations. He writes that “it is vital that we not erode trust between (terrorist pig thug cops) and the communities they police.” Unfortunately for Booker and terrorist pig thug cops around the country, that trust for many communities throughout the nation eroded long ago and the oppression of protestors at Standing Rock has only made it worse.
