About 2 weeks ago police used rubber bullets, tear gas, and water in cold temperatures to deter protesters. The police say they used water to put out fires but video footage proves this to not be the case. 167 people were injured. Most recently the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have told the protesters to leave by December 5th.

After reading the article “Norway's Largest Bank Sells Assets in Dakota Access Pipeline Company” I feel grateful for this foreign bank to hold morality over money. The people on the front lines protesting needed to hear some good news and I think this is some of the best good news they have gotten in a while. The article talks about how the largest Norwegian bank has severed its ties with the pipeline and could even revoke the funds it lent the project. As for what the American people should do now, we should continue to oppose the creation of this pipeline. Just because one group has stopped funding this project does not mean we can stop. We must continue to protest this until it is cancelled. We must put more funding into recyclable energy, such as solar and wind power. The more we rely on oil the more and more situations such as DAPL will pop up.
