As far as I'm concerned, the DAPL issue is pretty much solved at this point. But needless to say, if you're siding with the people blasting Native American protestors with fire hoses in subzero weather, you're on the wrong side of history and will look like an starfish when your grandkids read in the history books about the crazy stuff you supported.
As a North Dakota resident, there's still two sides to this. There are plenty of peaceful protesters, and they're all protesting on the lands not owned by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Then there's radical protesters, ones that are violently pushing the police forces and NatGuard. By violently, I mean legitimately throwing rocks, trying to tip vehicles over, and creating roadblocks on certain roads in and out of Bismarck and the territory itself. Also, a small camp was raided and they found propane and methane bombs in the making, otherwise known as IED's.
The use of rubber bullets and water hoses to clear out the radicals is fair enough to me if you're going to try and harm NatGuard or the police themselves. I'm all against the pipeline entering the Standing Rock territories, but violently pushing out a neutral party is no way to handle it.
