Two police officers have turned in their badges in support of the water protectors.

There have been at least 2 reports of police officers turning in their badges acknowledging that this battle is not what they signed up for. You can see it in some of them, that they do not support the police actions. We must keep reminding them they are welcome to put down their weapons and badge and take a stand against this pipeline as well. Some are waking up.

>"So what is it that opened the hearts of these two officers?
At the time of this writing, the answer is not known but we can speculate on a few different items.
Word is spreading quickly that there are 17 multi-national banks funding this pipeline and that the propaganda being spread about this deal creating American jobs or helping Americas economy is being seen as just that, propaganda. The American people, as well as people of the world, know that the big banks and U.S. Government does not care for the people, but only themselves. These banks and the government showed their hand in 2008 when they were bailed out after the stock market crash, leaving the public to bear the economic and social burdens. Even the police are becoming aware of this fact that the government and banks do not care for them and see the police only as pawns in a bigger game the government wishes to control.
Water is life is not just a meaningless slogan in many peoples minds. It is becoming understood by more and more that water IS indeed life. If water becomes toxic, all life that depends on that water becomes toxic
including the families of these same police officers who are currently protecting the construction sites. They too would be affected by toxic water."<
