Pipeline Protest Reporter Shot With Rubber Bullet Mid-Interview

Source: Huffington Post

Footage taken during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests in North Dakota Wednesday appears to show a rubber bullet hitting a journalist in the back as she conducted an interview.

Erin Schrode, an activist and congressional candidate in California, posted a video on Facebook Thursday that shows her interviewing a Native American man, then suddenly falling to the ground as people rush to surround her in concern. She wrote that law enforcement shot her in the lower back with a rubber bullet, though neither the act nor the bullet can be seen on camera.

“I was shot by militarized police WHILE interviewing a peaceful man at Standing Rock live on camera,” she wrote.

OUAB Presents: Breaking the Silence with Edward Snowden

Time: Wednesday, November 30, 2016 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM

Location: Ohio Union Archie Griffin Grand Ballroom (Ohio State)

In a growing world of technology and mass surveillance, private information is more transparent than ever. A subject of controversy, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee, Edward Snowden, is infamously known for exposing documents containing vast information on the NSA's domestic surveillance practices in 2013. Snowden’s acts of espionage have been deemed unlawful by the US government issuing warrants of arrest. Yet Mr. Snowden believes rather than trying to change society, he wants to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself. Now, the man of mystery is hunkering down in an undisclosed location in Russia, a country that has granted him temporary political asylum. Edward Snowden has adopted a variety of names - a hero, a whistleblower, a dissident, a patriot and a traitor. While he may live in Russia, Snowden’s legacy lives on the internet, a global landscape that is accessible to all.
