Twenty protesters gathered yesterday in front of the South Walnut Street Sunoco gas station to protest the Dakota Access oil pipeline. A Sunoco clerk called the police once the protesters refused to move out of one of the lot’s entrances, according to the Herald-Times. Protesters were reportedly blocking traffic.
Protesters said that the event was in response to the 141 arrests at the site of the protests in North Dakota last week. The Indiana Department of Homeland Security has also made the decision to send Indiana officers to support police presence in North Dakota.
