You're right.
But when the law is used to hide the truth, then what?

She wasn't arrested for doing her job. She was arrested for doing her job on private land.
Would we be crying about it if a rancher had taken out a warrant for criminal trespass because she elected to "do her job" on his property without his permission?
I suspect not.

None of this happened on the reservation.
The protesters were on private land not the reservation.
The pipeline was never planned to go on reservation property.
Goodman was illegaly tresspassing on PRIVATE land along with the protesters. They were repeatedly asked to leave or face prosecution. They chose to stay.
Now they are facing the consequences for their choices.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers evaluated the Bismarck route and concluded it was not a viable option for many reasons.
One reason mentioned in the agency’s environmental assessment is the proximity to wellhead source water protection areas that are avoided to protect municipal water supply wells
In addition, the Bismarck route would have been 11 miles longer with more road crossings and waterbody and wetland crossings. It also would have been difficult to stay 500 or more feet away from homes, as required by the North Dakota Public Service Commission, the corps states.

What's little talked about is the Native Americans who are coming down from Canada to stand with the protesters. We have a few of them... in fact, they are the fastest growing demographic in this country.
