The situation in North Dakota at the site of the Dakota Access Pipeline has degenerated into what can now only fairly be described as a war zone. The escalating assaults on unarmed protesters by heavily armed, fully militarized police units have transformed the Dakota Access Pipeline construction site into a battlefield. Scores of people have been injured and medics are struggling to evacuate the injured to area medical facilities for treatment. The worst injury reported occurred as a result of a concussion grenade thrown by police directly striking a 21-year-old protester from New York.
