Nevada Rangers Ram Through Climate Protest Blockade

[The Duke]

It’s a good thing the entire incident was caught on video.

Let the lawsuits begin.

You're outta your everlovin' mind.

 

[MinTrut]

That's a homicidal cop

Yup.

But not for long.

 

[westwall]

Yup.

But not for long.

You truly have no clue. Tribal land ISN'T in the USA. Our laws don't apply.

Good luck suing.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Very disturbing.

Hope this deranged cop is identified and removed from authority.

Not a chance.

Tribal police only answer to the tribal council. The tribal council takes entry on their lands very seriously. There is simply no one for the protesters to complain to.

Unfortunately for the protesters their complaint can't be heard in either state or federal Court. Their sole venue is tribal court. Forget about a jury of their peers. Only tribal members in good standing will act as a jury with a chief as judge.

Not a chance.

Dead cert.

It’s a jurisdictional clusterfuck to be sure.

If this cop had kept it in his pants, no problem.

But now the whole world sees.

We’ll see how this unravels.

Smart move is to ditch the cop & settle before this blows up any bigger.

Believe me, I know. I am native American. We don't take kindly to asshole invaders.

We’ll see what happens.

No, it isn't. There is no jurisdictional issue at all. The assholes invaded tribal land and acted like assholes.

They had better hope that the Paiutes take pity on them for being morons.

 

[westwall]

We’ll see.

You are blissfully ignorant. You should stop.

 

[MinTrut]

Let the shitstorm begin.

You are blissfully ignorant.

One of us is.

Still nothing will be done. The protesters will be charged with various crimes, be tried in Tribal Court according to Paiute law. They will be sentenced to pay a fine. If prison time is the sentence it will be served in federal prison.

This is not the first rodeo for Indian courts. It's called sovereign land for a reason.

No one cares what the world sees.

No - the cardinal rule has been broken.

The vigilante/individualist crowd is getting off on this (despite this being a brutal misuse of state force), but a deal is going to need to be made as I outlined.

But we’ll see; give it 6 months.

 

[MinTrut]

No one cares what the world sees.

Some care very much.

But we’ll see.

February/March.

Let the shitstorm begin.

There will be no shitstorm. What do you think these protesters can do? Who do you think they can complain to? Where do you think they can file a law suit? What laws do you think will apply?
