The Dakota Access Pipeline is a direct threat to the life, rights and water of the Standing Rock Sioux.

While Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, has come out against the pipeline, Hillary Clinton has so far refused to take a stance.

Police are using armored vehicles, tasers, percussion grenades and sound canons to try and disperse the protesters.
