The construction of the pipeline in North Dakota has caused widespread protests. Law enforcement officers arrested dozens of protesters early Friday morning. Police arrested at least 140 protesters.
Opponents of the building previously erected tents on the land where to built the pipeline and said that the land belongs to the tribe under the Treaty of the 19th century. As the confrontation continues, police uses gas and the high-pitched sirens to disperse the crowd. In response, protesters set fire to trash and throw bottles with an incendiary mix, have informed in law enforcement bodies of North Dakota.
By midnight on Thursday, some of the most dedicated opponents of the pipeline slipped through police lines and lit fires near the object. About 50 cars of law enforcement was evacuated. At least two people were arrested on suspicion of the shooting. One at 1806 highway and the other near the bridge to the North of the main camp of the protesters.
"Most of these people are peaceful," said the spokesman. "But we know that there is a faction that is willing to do anything to stop this pipeline." On Thursday evening, law enforcement authorities have cleared the area and pushed the protesters down the side of the highway 1806, to the site of the previous camp.
