Protesters demonstrating against President Donald Trump's arrival in the Black Hills for the Mount Rushmore fireworks display were met with resistance from law enforcement, pepper sprayed and arrested after they blocked a highway to the monument with vans for nearly three hours Friday.
Protesters cited that the Black Hills are sacred to Native Americans and that Trump's administration opposes interests of Native Americans and other minority groups. A majority of protesters dispersed from the scene after the South Dakota National Guard arrived on scene about an hour after protesters blocked the road and law enforcement declared it as an"unlawful assembly" over a megaphone.
Another show of unnecessary force. It is ironic that the U.S is doing the same thing that was criticized in another countries.
Good

I’m sorry did you say this was done in Russia ahead of Putin’s address?
More pepper spray on our own people.
We will never forget, but Karma's a BITCH.
Only in America does a sitting president convince “small-government” conservatives that government force is necessary to combat protestors.
LawAndOrder 🇺🇸
So blocking streets is ok? Disobeying police orders is ok? Is this a journalism site or Antifa site?
Good. America will not be silenced by thugs.
Stay Strong ! ! It won't be long ! ! Donny Boy won't around long, but he won't be happy until he takes some of his supporters with him ! !
I hope they impounded their vehicles too!!!!! They have no right to block roads unless there's an emergency. Protesting isn't an emergency.
Lock them up !
The funny thing is that had Europeans not invaded North America, there would only be about thirty million Stone Age Native Americans living here ... that is all.
“Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.
Authoritarianism or Fascist Tactics?!?! What happened to RIGHT TO PEACEFUL PROTESTING !?
Good
In other words after the protest moved into the realm of being an illegal gathering by blocking the road.
I want to see how strong that bunker is. Keep the Law and Order coming, baby. We’ll find out.
So much for “The Land of the Free”!!!
Just people who hate America.
Obese idiots on rented vans

Good!
Criminals blocking a roadway illegally and flattening the tires on the brand new cargo vans one of the funders/organizers of these violent, illegal protests bought them so moving them would be difficult. Obama came and payed homage at Mt. Rushmore. Clinton and Sanders also.
And they were handled while there vans were loaded up and impounded.
Good.
About freaking time they got hauled away
Beautiful arest them all!! 🇺🇸

Protestors were blowing out tires of people coming in, they were not peaceful.
The idea that humans evolved in Africa can be traced to Charles Darwin. In his 1871 book The Descent of Man, Darwin speculated that it was “probable” that Africa was the cradle of humans because our two closest living relatives—chimpanzees and gorillas—live there.
The black man wants to take back the world
If you really look into who most of the troublemakers are you might get a better picture of what your dealing with which is always the case!!! There are probably plenty of PAID PROTESTER TOO!!!
