This validates my time at Standing Rock. Here is an update on the video I shot of Erik Poemoceah being tackled during the Standing Rock protest. It's the same clip that Josh Fox used in Awake: A Dream From Standing Rock. Video, when used well, can offer meaningful protection against abuses of power and force. What do you think of this (sound on)? Does the lawsuit have merit? Full article below. It's published on multiple news sites but this one doesn't require log in. Civil Liberties Defense Center represents Mr. Peomoceah in the case.
