Federal judge denies tribe's request for injunction, but federal agencies issue statement pausing pipeline construction
The Dakota Access pipeline company attacks Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray as they protest against a $3.8 billion pipeline that threatens historic Native lands and waters.
A big chunk of money coming out of Pennsylvania is financing the dog siccers and the pepper sprayers -- including tax dollars. It turns out that one of the major investors in Energy Transfer Partners is...the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Records show that as of this June, the commonwealth -- through its pension funds -- owned some 5 million shares of ETP -- valued at some $192 million. That's more than any other governmental or quasi-governmental agency.
