Private security guard dogs bite, wound six at Dakota Access Pipeline blockade

On the 3ed of September, Native American protesters on foot and on horseback drove back the bulldozers of the company trying to build the Dakota Access pipeline for fracked Bakken oil. A private security contractor sicced dogs on the protesters and six people including a child received dog bites. Still more people were pepper sprayed. In the end, the contractor withdrew after one of the dogs was photographed with the blood of one of his victims in his mouth. For all their brutality the pipeline builders were defeated yet again.

Reports emerged on Sep 6 that one of the attack dogs switched sides and bit the private security contractors instead of Native American land defenders. Some animals just seem to know what's right...

One Twitter post retweeted by Black Lives Matter DMV showed a photo of the Sep 3ed dog attack on Native American land defenders alongside Bull Connor's infamous dog attacks on Civil Rights protesters, declaring "Yes that is true, somethings never change even after 50 years."

Update Sep 6: Multiple lockdowns by women warriors halt bulldozers again. No further dog attacks reported today.

Update Sep 4: Standing Rock Sioux tribe files for emergency injunction after sacred burial site destroyed by bulldozers.

At 5PM EDT(earlier in N Dakota) on Sep 3, 2016, lastrealindians.com posted this alert on Twitter concerning situation in North Dakota where Native American activsts have been keeping construction of the Dakota Access pipeline shut down "BREAKING: Dogs and helicopters brought into DAPL construction site by security, warriors needed #NoDAPL."

On the 3ed of September, it was estimated that 3,000 protesters were on hand at the site. Once again, construction workers were driven away by the activists, even though pepper spray was fired by police to push activists back from construction workers attempting to dig near the Red Warrior Camp.Dogs were used for intimidation, so far they have not been unleased in the Bull Connor style but that could change. Although 3,000 people are on site including more than 100 tribes, more are needed as both sides are pouring reinforcements into this escalating confrontation. Some are saying this is the largest Native American gathering in over 100 years.
