Jimmy Dore: On Police Brutality at Standing Rock #NoDAPL

Jimmy discusses the outrageous Brutality of cops against peaceful, unarmed protestors at Standing Rock. Hint, the cops act a lot like Nazi Fascists with American flags sewn on their shirts.

Conclusion: We don't need a President Trump for the US to become a Police State. The US is already a Police State.

Length: 12:33

PS Jimmy has mentioned in previous videos that his father was a cop, his brother is a cop and he has friends who are cops. I hope they don't watch his videos. Hahahha.

Native treaty-given lands (reservations or territories) are not US soil. We gave it to the original inhabitants or moved them there. That's why they sell cigs with no taxes, gas with no state taxes. Other countries.

It's been done to towns (Ferguson) and now territories. As well as everywhere else in the world some corporation with "rights" in the US can just muscle in.

I love Jimmy Dore, in a psychic way. His outrage fits my own.

It is refreshing to hear someone in the media call out the bullshit for what it is -- rather than dancing around the elephant in the room with PC language.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

They've done it three times already, what's one more? Biggrin (Check out the detailed history of the Revolutionary War and the war of 1812, if you think I'm kidding! There almost was another war over the Pacific Northwest border, but for once sanity prevailed and they split the difference.)

staking out his faction’s position on the “Oregon Question.” (After some years of a joint-rule arrangement with Canada, he and his backers decided the U.S. was entitled to the whole of the Oregon territory.)

Fortunately before war could break out, the two countries agreed to a split at the 49th parallel, where the U.S.-Canada border remains today.

That was my first thought when I saw the cops put numbers on prisoners arms. Then stuffed them into dog kennel cages in the station garage.

CANNON BALL, N.D. — President Barack Obama on Friday became only the third U.S. sitting president in eight decades to set foot in Indian Country, encountering both the wonder of Native American culture and the struggle of tribal life on a breeze-whipped afternoon in the prairie. Amid snapping flags and colorful, befeathered dancers, Obama declared that there was more the U.S. could do to help Native Americans.

Obama drew attention to inroads his administration has made with tribes even as he promoted the need to help reservations create jobs, strengthen justice, and improve health and education.

“Young people should be able to live, and work, and raise a family right here in the land of your fathers and mothers,” Obama told a crowd of about 1,800 during a Flag Day Celebration at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

---

Citing legendary tribal chief Sitting Bull, Obama said: “Let’s put our minds together to build more economic opportunity in Indian country. Because every American, including every Native American deserves a chance to work hard and get ahead.”

Tribal government Chairman Dave Archambault praised Obama for helping correct “historic wrongs” involving tribal land disputes.

“If Sitting Bull were here today, he would be honored, as I am, to have a president here talking to us,” he said.

---

Democratic North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, who accompanied Obama to the reservation, said Obama’s trip was a “major step forward in our efforts to elevate the issues facing our Native American citizens to a national level.”

That was then...

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

in this country including the Native Americans.
Gawd could his statement today be more of an approval for the police brutality to continue?
Sure Barry let's let people get beaten and arrested by the pigs while you pretend that the pipeline is going to be built somewhere else, you dumb POS!
By the time someone decides that it would be better built elsewhere it will already be built.
How so many Blacks are going to vote for Hillary after what Obama hasn't done to stop police brutality since Ferguson is mind boggling. Hillary isn't going to be any more concerned with their wellbeing than Obama has.
What has she said about the BLM or police brutality since over a year ago when the movement first started?
And don't they remember her calling them super predators and helped pass the crime bill which saw an increase of Blacks being inprisoned?
And don't Whites remember how many were kicked off welfare and into worsening poverty?
Do anyone actually believe that she is going to help the poor people in this country after what happened during Bill's terms?
The willful blindness of people is just astounding.
Oh, and I remember back to a time when people on the left were against the wars and here's Hillary telling everyone that she is willing to risk a war with Russia so that her friends in Saudi Arabia and Qatar can build pipelines in Syria.
That's what the members of the military are going to be risking their lives for.
Do any of them think that Syria is a threat to this country?

on that previous goodwill.

He didn't go up there because he actually cared about the people living there. He went up there to smooth the way for the pipeline.

That's his job: make the exploited feel warm and fuzzy about getting screwed.

Maybe we should just call him 'Osoma'.

And Bush signed an executive order outlawing the use of eminent domain for this purpose.
Are people aware that at least farmers have to have the pipeline go through their property over their objections because this company used eminent domain on their lands?
Of course by the time the lawsuits makes the way through the courts the pipeline will be built.
And if the TPP gets passed then these activities are going to be happening much more.
Thanks Obama. Love the change, too bad it has been for the worse.

Oh My!

That is some high stress family! Mine own can argue, and my Father is mainly center-right for a Democrat, so he has been stubborn, been trying to get him to go Jill, my siblings are more center to far right. I am the main Leftist/Progressive but have not been able to go to family gatherings for some time due to finances, and my health might not allow for that level of arguing.

Jimmy's family is so many cops, I wonder if they also drink as that seems to come with the badge at some point? Hope all remains calm in your family.

what it is. Although a few months back my kid won tickets to see Neil Young and The Promise of the Real (Willie Nelson's kid's band). She won 4 of them so I had her give the two shits I really don't get along with each a ticket. They love old Neil almost as much as I do. But there was NO fraternizing after the concert. That's the only way I would let them go. My rule was be a decent human being for a very few hours then leave. It worked for me.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: There’s an obligation for protesters to be peaceful. And there’s an obligation for authorities to show restraint.

And I want to make sure that, as everybody is exercising their constitutional rights to be heard, that both sides are refraining from situations that might result in people being hurt.

Hey Obama, news flash for ya. Your F**King Thugs In Blue are cracking the skulls of protestors who are standing in prayer circles and singing songs. What an freaking idiot.
