Anti-fracking Native protest 'wins' against riot police

There's a huge story in Canada today, Oct 17, with upwards of 700 federal police (the RCMP) deployed against a group of protesters from the local indigenous community, who object to the fracking project that a Texan company, SWN, is trying to start in the area. I visited there a month ago and saw lots of signs from both the "white" and "Native" people showing intense local opposition to the risk of poisoned local water supplies.

The day's tense standoffs, reported at length, wrapped up as night began to fall and the riot police from the RCMP began to withdraw.

Fastforward to 1:20 to see the withdrawal of the riot police line and the happy crowds.
