If I were their lawyer I would be playing the Native American Tribal card from day one, their only hope.
I can't see that being the case. The Rangers gave them 30 seconds to clear a public road and as they refused they were endangering the public.
If only the police were as effective against the slow march 'stop the oil' nutters over here instead of pussy footing around with them.

I suspect the Tribal Police will get more latitude than their non-tribal brothers might. There might be some training issues identified and addressed but I'm not sure anyone will lose their job. Time will tell I guess.

Anyone want to test if Tesla autopilot will stop for a line of protestors blocking a highway?

We had some climate peanuts climb on a motorway gantry with placards not long ago and the motorway was closed until the protestors were eventually forced down after a few hours by officers climbing up there. Would love to see the li bs reaction if armed police gave the peanuts a minute to come down

No quicker way to get people to hate your cause than blocking a street.

Or defacing works of art.

Or gluing oneself to the art or wall of said museum.

Or gluing oneself to the runway of an active airport.

Or pouring milk on the floor at grocery stores.

Or....

The fundamental idea that a group of humans are fighting to save the earth from the rest of us must give them a god like feeling perhaps.
I have no problem with their beliefs but causing nuisance to the lives of normal folk is wrong whatever be their justification.

If you listen to the long version of the video where the Rangers remove the blockade you'll hear the protesters repeating that its a peaceful protest like that somehow makes it ok for them to disrupt the lives of everyone else or to damage property. These protests won't remain peaceful for very long as was mentioned earlier they are targeting the wrong people.

This is what happens when you actually do that "one cool trick they don't want you to know about that is already raising eyebrows".

I'm going to post some quotes from a aggregator on this story because it was just funny and funny is good. I will post the source on the bottom. The typical greenie grifters are crying fowl on this so the source Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) is included.

More than 1,600 scientists, including two Nobel laureates, declare climate 'emergency' a myth
When your screechy, pinko-haired, non-binary sibling-in-law isn’t busy gluing its unemployed cloven hooves to a museum painting, zhe is probably Greta-Thunberging zhir way around your house, calling out your vile light bulbs and planet-killing ceiling fan for its part in making the weather bad.

One of the battle cries of the intolerable social justice warriors for the past ten years has been that “97% of scientists agree that Stormin’ Norman is REAL!”

Hey, it must be true — even the U.S. government agrees. Why would the globalists in Washington, D.C., lie about Stormin’ Norman? HAHAHAHAH! To enslave us, you silly goose. DERP!

But just as the beta cucks in the Stormin’ Norman brigade prepare to get a job sit on the highway to keep you from living your life, 1,609 experts and scientists from around the world, including Nobel Laureates, have signed a declaration stating that Stormin’ Norman is nothing but lefty flapdoodle.

I'm glad that lady didn't die. I've never had a problem opening my car with my phone. I can also just use my watch to open the car and that comes in handy when I go for runs outdoors.

On a side note I wasn't aware that Teslas come with OEM run flats.
