CLIP#16 of 33 STANDING ROCK POLICE ATTACK. NOV,20,2016.

IN THIS PARTICULAR CLIP, is some more of my fav footage of the night. Protesters chanted "shame on you" to police. Then i filmed a very intense exchange between a man and police. 'God will love you more for protecting his water" "Be prepared when you come back. We will meet eye to eye one day, sooner or later." This was one of the most inspiring moments of the whole night. Very intense. "I will meet you in hell if thats what it takes." Then police blasted us with water. Folks just stood and took it. Got a great close up of the icicles on the razor wire from the police water cannons.

IN GENERAL..  
 Police attacked unarmed peaceful water protectors with fire hoses, and other potentially lethal means for literally HOURS in sub-freezing temps that night. SERIOUS injuries were reported including, cardiac arrests, bone fractures, eye injuries, and serious head injuries. Some specific injuries include one women Vanessa Dundon, who may lose her right eye. As well as a 21 year old girl, Sophia Wilansky, who may lose her arm due to a concusion grenade (flash bang)...

THIS IS CRIME SCENE FOOTAGE... It may not be beautifully edited or professionally shot, but it tells the REAL story and produces the FACTS of SERIOUS CRIMES committed by police, beyond any reasonable doubt... This video is raw and unedited. Everyday police send folks to life in prison based on "video evidence"... Please think about that.. and please repost this.

 Police showed extreme negligence and recklessly endangered the lives of hundreds of protestors and members of the media. Their use of force was drastically disproportionate to anything I saw the protesters do. They fired indescrimanantly into the crowd for hours using tear gas canisters launched hundreds of feet through the air, pepper spray, concussion grenades (flash bangs), the LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) 37mm projectiles (giant rubber bullets) and "less lethal" shot gun rounds fired at point blank range. 

This was a serious human rights violation and it needs the worlds attention.

Police are continuing to lie about the events of that night in an effort to evade responsibility and justice. This includes actively charging protesters with "crimes" while no officers involved in these aggravated assaults has even been disciplined. Let alone charged..
  
 They have even claimed that Sophia Wilansky blew her own arm up with an "IED" (Improvised Explosive Device) They have shown NO video evidence to support this claim. Many police were filmed wearing body cams, dozens of hand held cameras were out there, and both sides had drones filming overhead. So to offer no video evidence to back up their story is telling... They are clearly lying. Please don't let them get away with this.

SPREAD THESE VIDEOS LIKE WILDFIRE!

Personally I didn't talk to a single "paid protester" out there. Just the opposite in fact. What I saw was "VOLUNTARY MUTUAL AID" in action. The police and media narrative describing the protesters as "criminals" and "thugs" is misdirected and frankly obscene. The fires that were lit literally saved soaking wet peoples lives from the freezing temps. Even with the fires, I am honestly surprised the police didn't kill anyone that night. It is difficult for me to see the police actions as anything but attempted murder, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. It was also undoubtably BOTH cruel and unusual punishment. 

Police could have easily could have backed off, given the protesters the bridge and likely would have been able to deescalate the whole situation. Instead they chose to attack and very nearly kill hundreds of people in the freezing cold, for HOURS!

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE TRUTH FOLKS. I'm not trying to make money selling these videos. I am releasing them free to the public out of respect to the injured, and in the interest of truth. I just want them to set the record straight and become part of the official history. That is one of the reasons I am releasing them ALL in RAW UNEDITED form. Please feel free to use in your own film projects.

I will now be numbering the clips in the order they were filmed to make the editing process easier for y'all. There is 33 clips total.

PLEASE SHARE, AND REPOST ON OTHER MEDIA PLATFORMS. 

Love and respect to all the water protectors out there. You all were beautiful that night. I'll never forget it.
