Footage taken during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests in North Dakota Wednesday appears to show a rubber bullet hitting a journalist in the back as she conducted an interview.

Erin Schrode, an activist and congressional candidate in California, posted a video on Facebook Thursday that shows her interviewing a Native American man, then suddenly falling to the ground as people rush to surround her in concern.

2. How is it

the Administration can continue to steal land from the people of this nation? How can we allow the First Nations sacred burial grounds be desecrated? The Army Corp has a long history of stealing land, that has to end now.

3. The state is doing the stealing...

but, unfortunately, the feds aren't doing a damn thing about it. Get in the way of corporate profits and you will get pummeled- especially if you're Native American or those assisting them.
