In The Streets with Beverley Smith: Standing with Standing Rock (Episode 77) - a podcast by the LMC Radio Network

Standing with Standing Rock

North Dakota become the first US state to legalize use of armed police drones. Wanna bet the bill was passed to combat the Native resistance that has been growing since last April?

At Standing Rock, police have been firing rubber bullets and other so-called "non-lethal" weapons at horses and people alike, causing dozens of serious injuries. Last weekend, over 100 peaceful water protectors were brutalized by dogs, sonic weapons, tasers, and police along with private security guards.

As the crisis continues, the United Nations is heading to North Dakota, having been invited to Standing Rock by tribal elders.

Remember This When You Talk About Standing Rock: an open letter, written by an indigenous woman.

Update on the Flint, MI toxic water crisis which continues. Residents have won a small victory in court which may open the way to holding the Michigan government accountable.

This and more. Tues, Nov 1, 6pm Pacific
