The facts seem to suggest that the Bismark option was ruled out in the early part of the planning for the DA pipeline.  The proposed route could not be made to comply with state laws about proximity to dwellings.  So, the "mostly white," people of Bismark never had to raise their voices, much less scream.  Just for the record, how many natives were swarmed and driven out, as you report?  The group of demonstrators who were left when the police did a final sweep of their encampment was small and  appeared to be mostly white people.  Did you know that they were denied a permit to camp in a neighboring town by the town council, made up of local native people?  Did you also know that they left human and animal excerment and toxic trash and other things that would have washed into the river polluting it, if the local mostly white people had not used their tax paid employees to clean up the area?  The "Water Protectors," produced all that pollution.  What do you know?
