Welcome to Home of the Brave, I'm Scott Carrier.

Just so you know, not all the anti-pipiplying demonstrations or actions, as they are called,

turn into fights or battles involving attack dogs, armor vehicles, rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons.

Some begin and end peacefully.

And not all the actions are at or near the protest camps, which are near where the pipeline is scheduled across the Missouri River before the end of the year.

Sometimes the protesters or water protectors leave the camps and caravans a line of a

hundred cars moving across the rolling hills of the Great Plains. One day I followed them to Bismar, 30 miles north, where they marched around

the State Capitol building and then moved downtown to the Federal Building and no one was

arrested or pepper sprayed.

When they were at the Capitol building, the cops stayed back out of sight.

As you can see here today, there's no cop presence physically here.

This is Nathan Lange, a white guy who grew up on the Standing Rock Reservation.

He was there watching the protest.

They're peacefully marching, screaming, chanting, doing their thing, but you don't see any drama,

no violence, nobody's fighting, nothing's being disturbed.

You have people in there are different groups talking and doing things, but other than that, it's pretty peaceful.

So you support the protest?

Yep, I support the protest.

And my concern is the people of Bismarck and Mandan behind closed doors shot at 44 miles south.

I think there's a valid point being proven, you know.

Okay, let's explain that a little bit.

What happened there?
