Watch the whole thing, but the really important part starts at 3:55.

The police are getting really violent. They may have blown a young woman's arm off among other things. Everything about how the police are behaving at standing Rock is something you would expect from a brutal police state, not a democracy.

And here's the thing: Barack Obama could stop this at any time.

The rant that starts at 3:55 lists other things Barack and Hillary could have, but didn't do.

They don't because they serve rich people and large corporations instead of the people. Because that is what our corrupt campaign finance system demands of them: that they serve the wealthy instead of us.

If any right wingers are reading this, your Republican party is even worse. Just who do you think is helped by all those tax cuts and deregulation? You? Who do you think is helped by smashing the unions and keeping minimum wage low? You?
 
PS -- the woman whose arm was nearly blown off (or actuality blown off, we still don't know yet if it can be saved) appears to be white, so it's OK for you conservatives and libertarians to find the police at fault here.
