Standing Rock Protector's Arm Blown Off By Police Grenade

Police threw concussion grenades at Standing Rock water protectors. Now a woman’s arm is being amputated. Brett Erlich and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. tytnetwork.com/...
"In Minneapolis, 21-year-old activist Sophia Wilansky is in critical condition and has been undergoing a series of surgeries, after reportedly being hit by a concussion grenade during the police attack against water protectors fighting the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline in North Dakota Sunday night. Sunday’s attack at Standing Rock included police firing rubber bullets, mace canisters and water cannons in subfreezing temperatures. The Standing Rock Medic & Healer Council reports as many as 300 people were injured in the attack, with the injuries ranging from hypothermia to seizures, to loss of consciousness, to impaired vision as a result of being shot by a rubber bullet in the face. Water protectors say at least 26 people were evacuated from the area by ambulances and hospitalized. Sophia Wilansky was evacuated and airlifted to a Minneapolis hospital. After hours of surgery, she posted on Facebook early this morning that her arm has not been amputated, but she will not know for another week whether amputation might be required. The Morton County Sheriff’s Department is claiming the police are not responsible for her injury. Wilansky is from New York City and has organized against the construction of pipelines, including the AIM Spectra pipeline, in New York and across the East Coast. A prayer vigil is slated for 4 p.m. today outside the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.”*

And they say the protectors are being violent. This is a excuse for police officers to let out their inner violence out on people.

[@bandersnatchful]

What do you think YOU are standing for, Kurama? All that black oil is for export. There's no jobs, there's nothing in it for the American people. So what exactly are you saying again? What is your point?

[@alejandrofrade325]

Ashleigh I didn't realize that taking over a federal building with arms was a way of protesting.

[@michaelcampbell5567]

The only reason it is going for export is because the Obama administration and the republican congress changed the rules on exporting oil. It would be utilized in country but the EPA and other regulatory groups have forced our refineries to keep using dirty oil from overseas versus our clean oil.

[@johnfunches8153]

I'm sad my President has done nothing on this. Obama has dropped the ball on this.

Rusty Johnson so it'll never get fixed, unless President Obama acts.

[@froyerthedestroyer6756]

This is why I subscribed to Jimmy Dore

[@Seekarr]

Because he's an idiot? All he's done is joined the Republicans on the "Thanks Obama!" bullshit for stuff either out of Obama's control or outside his jurisdiction. His policies have stood up for MILLIONS of poor, and people who have been habitually bullied by US culture by bringing health care coverage to millions, marriage equality to millions, and revitalized job sectors in the auto-industry and other sectors.

[@openmythirdeye]

Seekarr Jimmy Dore gives you inconvenient facts about corruption in your party. I know most people blindly follow their master with little regard with their actions/inactions. We need more criticism of all politicians and call them out for all their bullshit regardless of what side of the aisle they are on.

[@petersimon1551]

Under Obama the number of people being incarcerated kept growing and thanks to it america is the leader of the world in jailing it's own citizens.

[@Godsbackhand7]

So, what you are saying is that prior to Obama the US wasn't already the leader in jailing it's own citizens? Show us all the facts behind that please. And you say that the number of people going to jail increased and didn't decrease, which has been the case in the US for the past 150 years.....and this is Obama's fault? GTFOH. Crime has decreased steadily for the past 10 years, but it hasn't stopped altogether. You lack of any factual information to support you opinion is depressing.

[@leavy]

+Godsbackhand7 I don't think anyone, including Jimmy, is literally this is Obama's "fault". But he's definitely not doing anything to stop this shit from happening, which is completely within his power to do. He has proven he has been sucked up into the establishment just like most politicians; he is no special butterfly, and you guys need to stop treating him as such. He is just another "democrat" president that panders to the right and is part of the group of people causing that party to completely lose its touch with its base. Which is why I'm no longer a democrat as well.

[@Gala-yp8nx]

[@jayh4355]

+Big Brother Over the Top Statistics show that white men kill cops way more than any other ethnicity. Most of the cops who've been murdered this year were killed by white men. *(Side note) this is a fact, not a racist statement. You mentioned BLM, so I gave you a white statistic.

[@joerivera6334]

***** By July of this year, 807 people had been killed by police in the US. We're probably over a thousand now? More to the point, in many states including mine, shooting a cop is literally a death sentence. How many cops are still on the streets after killing an unarmed person?

[@joerivera6334]

This video is about a girl at a peaceful protest getting her arm blown off by a grenade that isn't intended to be thrown at people. Would you consider that an ambush? It's hard to distinguish between "my" 807 deaths and police deaths in terms of the degree to which they were unexpected --and it's arbitrary anyway. Death is death. Courts should be the ones that decide how a person will be punished. Police don't get to play Judge Dredd, neither should civilians. As for disputation, we have no idea how many killings by police officers are actually justified. Police are self-reporting. If you did that with civilians, prisons would be empty. This isn't something you can give accurate numbers on unless the police are wearing body cameras and they're reviewed by a third party, since police are known to excuse each other's behavior unless it's totally egregious. Until we're able to police our police officers, a certain portion of their population can and will abuse their power.

[@blackhole-gz7mg]

Alexis Chavez I can tell he won't be as compassionate as Obama

[@EdwardViaTomato]

My guess would be that there's an administration team trying to figure out how to handle the legal battle here in a way that can't be immediately and semi-legitimately discarded when Trump takes office... but until then, I'd guess Obama's biggest hurdle in doing anything is avoiding flexing too much and seeming overly authoritative to the current hive-mind we have to put up with... while simultaneously _lacking_ -authority- support as he's in transition on his way out... I think normally the national guard would or could be called in to act as a median between the state officials and the protesters, but in this case the national guard has been called out by the state to assist on the overly aggressive nonsense side.

[@crimsonking8942]

If we chose to stop allowing the evil corporates to dominate us, we could take our country back. I can't remember which one, but there is a country in Europe that was trying to take away some of women's rights, and all it took was for almost every single woman to stop going to work for one day to make them realize that we are the structure they stand upon.

[@I-didnt-ask-you]

Paraphrasing: "The Morton County Sheriff's Office claims the police department is not responsible for her injury" I suppose she did that to herself with her own grenade?

[@williamdavies2057]

Ok who can dox these cops?

[@hyperopinionated1138]

They're saying other protesters did it with propane canister bomb.

[@hedgeharry2256]

Burako Shimazaki Sheriff's Office was speculating when they stated "maybe the protesters were making a propane IED and that blew up her arm" The girl, her father and witnesses claim it was a malfunctioning concussion grenade.

[@tyty8484]

A concussion grenade cannot give you the injury she sustained. If you look at the injury it's basically a perfect cylinder of missing flesh and bone, but some bone and a tendon remain intact. If the grenade was launched powerfully enough to cause this much damage it could not have made this perfectly cylindrical wound. An impact would have shattered the bones and caused a lot of collateral damage to the surrounding flesh. It also could not have passed through the intact bone. If the grenade exploded with enough force to cause this much damage, it also would not have made a perfectly cylindrical wound. The wound would be more wide spread and again, the bones would be shattered instead of perfectly intact or seemingly shaved away. Also, if this was caused by a close proximity explosion then there would be extensive burning and cauterization and the damage would not be contained to such a small area. A propane canister failure, on the other hand, could easily cause this injury. If the propane tank was being held by the girl and the tank ruptured from a small hole, that escaping pressurized gas would act just like a water-jet cutter. And a circular hole, or really even almost any shape hole, would cause a cylindrical path of damage that would match her injury. This is the most likely scenario.

[@AhNee]

tyty8484 Yes, they can. Why don't you hold one and see? And the photos aren't exactly clear enough to see what 'shape' the wound is, plus, she was wearing a very heavy down jacket...the injury could have been even worse.

[@eddiemaxblack]

[@sickpat7197]

HEY JIMMY DORE!!! I'm an older guy (45) and this is nothing new. When I was 15 years old two cops drug me under a bridge and beat me with their flashlights. When I went home and told my dad he kicked my ass again for "getting in trouble with the cops and lying about them" hitting me. He said I went out and got in a fight with my "friends" and made up the part about the police. i have been abused and mistreated by cops in almost every single encounter I have ever had with them. This is just the way the cops are. This is the way they have always been. I have panic attacks when i see a cop car with its light on, and I pretty much leave any area where cops are in any concentration of numbers. This is the reality of our country.

[@Tan87ful]

[@sickpat7197]

Nella J nope, middle of BFE (way out in the country). And this is why I know that it's worse in the cities, if for no other reason then there are larger numbers of people, so there are likely to be larger numbers of events like this. Thanks for the condolences, but I'm truly over it. I just can't trust a cop ever again. I know they are demons.

Why can't they do this to Trump protestors instead of innocent people.

Trump owns a 10% share of this pipeline, he'll send in torturers and worse to deal with the protectors. All hail Donny Tiny Hands.

the only way to stop this is with the US military pointing their guns at the police. Military is the only knife sharpener than the police .

[@cookiehustle]

You're both great examples of what I just said lol

[@mbarrett1005]

(All of this is EASY to verify) First, tribal elders have asked that all water protectors and allies refrain from violence. This is meant to be an action of prayer and resistance, they do not have to be your cultural and religious traditions for you to respect them. Please do not think religious bigotry becomes acceptable just because the police are already reacting violently to their right to practice their religion and resist this company's intrusion on their way of life and outright religious persecution. Police have beaten and arrested people for praying on the burial grounds this company has decided to desecrate and have been confiscating and defiling sacred religious objects for months. Second, there are laws hospitals must follow regarding shrapnel and bullets they pull from their patients. During his press conference, that any of you can look up and watch, her father said it was the same kind of the grenade being used by the MCSD because it had already been identified as the one of the types of crowd control grenades the police troops have been using not because he was guessing. Again, the shrapnel pulled from her body was not from a propane canister and matched the crowd control grenades police were throwing directly at people. Pictures of her injury- which are every where- show the material of her coat was not remotely scorched- even a little. Propane canister bomb that doesn't burn? That is insanely ridiculous. The only shred of "evidence" these corrupt officials could produce, for the record, was one badly burned but completely intact single use 16 ounce canister. These things are made for cub scouts and housewives to use, they are hard to blow up but it looks like DAPL's minions tried their best. Third, department employees have already been caught discussing payoffs from the pipeline company in official sheriff's department emails through the freedom of information act. Anyone with integrity would want to look these things up for themselves, anyone with no integrity will continue to repeat the lies of a department that is already under investigation by multiple agencies.

[@mjr256]

Jimmy is being way too hyperbolic. Of course there are some examples of Obama helping non-donors. Lilly Ledbetter, Affordable Care Act, Iran Nuclear Deal, ending the Cuba embargo. He absolutely should have done much more, but you can't go as far as to say he's never helped people who weren't his donors.

[@sgtsnakeeyes11]

jimmy isn;t really about facts, just hyperbole like you said, i skip his parts

[@fearlessarchangel]

The King of all Awesomeness It's not about raising arms, it's about showing we are an armed society, not a flock of sheep.

[@IizUname]

fearlessarchangel They could easily annihilate any resistance from the people.

[@fearlessarchangel]

IizUname It's not about what they could do, it's about what they are willing to do. Do you really think cops want the attention of being responsible for a small massacre? I didn't say start an actual war, just demonstrate that they are an armed society and should be respected, rather than shot in the face with rubber bullets.

[@IizUname]

I'm personally against the pipeline, but my uncle is currently working to install it. My biggest advice is this: don't protest violently or be hypocritical. I was just talking to my uncle and he says that the protesters are acting pretty insane. The locals hate them because they're littering everywhere, shooting peoples' cattle, shooting at peoples' pets, damaging property, etc. It's way out of control right now.

They don't. Everyone still thinks peaceful protest is going to initiate magic and the brutes we call our government will just suddenly give in.

[@romanmir01]

Oh, I want to see that :) Wouldn't that be funny? Handguns, rifles, even machine guns... vs tanks and drones with rockets obviously. Admit it, Americans have dropped the ball once they allowed the government to have weapons that they themselves could not legally own.

[@blackhole-gz7mg]

lfsracer79 soon real soon

[@tman229]

romanmir01 I didn't realize we still live in an age of muskets where we charge in rows to be easily picked off. Of course, going against a heavily armed government isn't anything close to easy but proper war tactics against such an obstacle IS in existence. Also you also have to take into account that such a thing with definitely cause a divide between some members of our military and even some police forces. Not to mention that the government will be more open to attacks from other countries as there is an internet fight . Because let's face it, not many countries are truly fond of us.
