Added Note: Here at the Federal News Group, we all stand with and behind all of our law enforcement officers and protecting federal workers, as well as all of America's legal citizenry. We also realize that after the last administration sided with the criminals that raped and pillaged places like Ferguson (Creating the Ferguson Effect) forcing law enforcement to 'stand-down' while businesses and personal property was burned and destroyed, leaving law enforcement impotent to protect themselves as well as the populace. However, this Executive Order gives the appearance, that it is more aimed at protecting law enforcement as they attempt to eradicate any protest by Native Americans to protect lands and water they once owned by treaty but again stolen from them through eminent domain. Specifically, it appears aimed at the Dakota Pipeline Project. Unfortunately, any law that harms the native American harms us all in the end. I guess we have to wait and see how the protests are handled once this horrible pipeline is forced under the waters of the American people.
