DAPL Protesters Occupy Times Square, Burn US Flag
Over 200 Dakota Access pipeline protesters marched in New York City to honor activist Sophia Wilansky who is facing a possible arm amputation and up to 20 surgeries after pipeline security reportedly threw a concussion grenade. The 21 year old was severely injured by an explosive during clashes with police at Standing Rock in North Dakota on Sunday night. The Obama administration meanwhile, has remained silent amid mounting calls for federal authorities to intervene to stop police violence at Standing Rock after hundreds of water protectors were injured, some seriously.
