RE:Protesters clash with law enforcement after ENB drill leakOh boy ... this is dramatic for sure.
---------------------------------------------------------
Later that day, six protesters were arrested after an effort to stop the drilling. Pictures showed large barricades built to stop workers from accessing the work and six people were booked into the Aitkin County Jail on charges ranging from trespassing to resisting a peace officer and drug possession.
The Northern Lights Task Force’s statement said that protesters used “sleeping dragons” to make it more difficult to remove the activists who had locked themselves to the drill site. The devices employ PVC piping to keep police from using bolt cutters on the handcuffs or chains.
However, the NLTF said that some of the protesters took it a step further, lining the devices with feces.
Aitkin County Sheriff Dan Guida confirmed that report, saying the three devices they removed were lined with a substance that looked and smelled like feces.
