Quoting the Petition:
“Demand for Legal Action against DAPL Protest Attackers and Energy Transfer Partners”
“Energy Transfer Partners has hired mercenaries to bring pepper spray and attack dogs on Native American tribes who gathered to peacefully protest the destruction of sacred sites and safe drinking water.
The company was supposed to halt construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline until a Federal hearing, but they have taken matters into their own hands. Late Saturday afternoon, adults and children were pepper-sprayed and attacked by dogs at the Standing Rock Sioux reservation by ETP security teams…and the construction continued.
The local governments have turned a blind eye. No arrests have been made. This kind of aggression is inexcusable and cannot be tolerated.

We, the undersigned, believe that legal action must be taken against the attacking parties and the company that hired them. We implore local governments surrounding the Morton County area to step in to protect this protest. Arrests must be made on those who attacked protesters, and by extension, on those who paid these teams to do it.”
