But footage later emerged showing police <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2016/nov/21/dakota-access-pipeline-standing-rock-water-cannon-video" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">aiming the hoses directly at activists</a>. The department subsequently conceded that it had purposefully used water on the protesters.</p> <p>On Thanksgiving, Morton County sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier released a statement condemning the actions of “paid agitators and protesters” without offering any evidence that people were being paid to fight the pipeline.

The Mandan, North Dakota, police chief, Jason Ziegler, has asserted that law enforcement agencies “can use whatever force necessary to maintain peace”.</p> <p>Caro Gonzales, a 26-year-old member of the Chemehuevi tribe and an anti-police violence activist in Washington state, said the language from law enforcement officials resembled that used to discredit unarmed black men killed by police. </p> <p>Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Michael Brown in 2014, said the unarmed black teenager looked like a “<a draggable="true" href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/nov/25/darren-wilson-testimony-ferguson-michael-brown" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">demon</a>”. </p> <p>“Police and police unions use this language so they can demonize people who are fighting for their rights,” said Gonzales. </p> <p>A lack of transparency, confusing jurisdictions, and the fact that dozens of law enforcement agencies have assisted the local sheriff’s department further complicate the situation.</p> <p>The Morton County sheriff’s department has refused to reveal which law enforcement agencies were involved in the 20 November action. But the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has assembled a list of <a href="https://www.aclu.org/blog/speak-freely/how-many-law-enforcement-agencies-does-it-take-subdue-peaceful-protest" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">76 different agencies</a> – state, county, and local agencies from North Dakota and nine other states – that have sent officers to the protests.</p> <p>“There are real concerns about how the Morton County sheriff’s department is exercising command and control,” said Jennifer Cook, policy director for the ACLU of North Dakota. “Who makes the decision about how to police the protest? When you have so many agencies involved, each one is going to have its own training and protocol.”</p> <p>Adding to the confusion is an exceedingly complicated jurisdictional terrain.</p> <p>The first Standing Rock encampment, known as Sacred Stone, was established in April on land owned by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/02/dakota-pipeline-protest-bundy-militia" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">LaDonna Brave Bull Allard</a>, which sits within the boundaries of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation.</p> <p>But as more activists joined the movement, camps were established north of the reservation border, on land managed by the Army Corps of Engineers and leased to a private rancher. While the government asserts that the land falls under its jurisdiction, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe says that it has treaty rights dating from the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie.</p> <p>Given the complexity, Ronal Serpas, a retired police chief and professor of criminology at Loyola University, said the courts needed to step in and provide direction for law enforcement officers.</p> <p>“This is what you would call a messy, messy mess,” Serpas said. “It’s unfair for the police to be at the center of that storm.”</p> <h2>‘It’s just under the surface’</h2> <figure itemprop="associatedMedia

protest against plans to pass the Dakota Access pipeline near the Standing Rock reservation. Photograph: Stephanie Keith/Reuters </figcaption> </figure> <p>Many Native Americans involved in the Standing Rock movement ascribe the harsh police tactics to intense racism against indigenous people, both from law enforcement officials and civilians. </p> <p>Glenn Morris, spokesman for the leadership council of the American Indian Movement of Colorado, said indigenous people in the Standing Rock region were accustomed to mistreatment by police.</p> <p>“Anybody who knows the history of law enforcement actions in the Dakotas, this is not unusual. But the magnitude of it is extreme,” said Morris, who is the uncle of Red Fawn Fallis, an indigenous protester who was arrested and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/03/dakota-pipeline-activist-red-fawn-fallis-accused-shooting-police-pacifist" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">accused of attempted murder</a> against law enforcement at Standing Rock – a charge her family and supporters strongly deny. </p> <p>Studies have also <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/07/native-americans-getting-shot-police" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">found</a> that police kill Native Americans at higher rates than any other racial group, and that <a href="http://lakotalaw.org/special-reports/native-lives-matter" data-link-name="in body link" class="u-underline">indigenous children</a> make up 70% of youth admitted to the federal bureau of prisons despite representing only 1% of the population. </p> <p>“When someone from Standing Rock goes to Bismarck, we’ll always say, ‘Watch out for the cops,’” said Black Elk, who has lived on the reservation for much of her life. </p> <p>“The thing is, racism is nothing new here. It has always been there; it’s just bubbling under the surface.” </p> </div> <div class="submeta"> <hr> <div data-link-name="keywords" data-component="keywords"> <a class="submeta__tone button
