Violence at a pipeline protest

So far our fight against the proposed PennEast/UGI pipeline has involved peaceful demonstrations, oral and written testimony, letters to the editor, comments at public meetings, press releases, newspaper ads, and other types of protest available to American citizens.  

What happens if we would stand in front of the bulldozers if and when the pipeline is built?  I have been aware of Indians protesting a pipeline in North Dakota.  Today my friend Tom sent me a link to a video showing a disturbing level of violence against the Indians.  

What surprised me is that the “security guards” did not look like security guards at all.  They were not in uniform, and the dogs they brought looked simply like untrained vicious dogs.  


Here is the link to the You-Tube video: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuZcx2zEo4k>.
