Tensions continued in North Dakota on Monday afternoon as law enforcement officials arrested 16 people at a demonstration, one day after hundreds clashed with the police over the Dakota Access Pipeline. Action by protesters to move a truck blocking the bridge leading to the DAPL Pipeline construction near the Standing Rock Reservation led to a police response of tear gas, a water canon, and sound grenades as well as rubber bullets. During a news conference Monday, officials also defended their use of fire hoses against protesters the night before, despite the below-freezing weather.
