Thousands Of Veterans To Form ‘Human Shield’ For Dakota Protestors
Thousands of veterans are planning to form a human shield around the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to protect protestors from police brutality. Up to 2,000 veterans are expected in North Dakota amid violent clashes between protestors and militarised cops over the construction of an oil pipeline. The nonviolent intervention by the veterans aims to protect the brave protestors from “assault and intimidation at the hands of the militarized police force”.
