A heartwarming video of Nevada rangers taking down environmental activists

"It's every driver's nightmare: you're heading to the airport, the labor and delivery room, your dying parent's bedside, your daughter's elementary school play, your child's preschool pickup (which charges you $10 a minute if you're late), or just home from a long day at work, and you find yourself stuck in a traffic jam.  Infinitely worse is when that jam occurs as you're heading to Burning Man, not because of an accident or legitimate road work, but because of climate activists sitting in the middle of the road.  But in Nevada, on tribal land, the rangers did something wonderful, the kind of thing that makes you want to stand up and cheer."

UPDATE: A friend wrote with the following information:

Those are Paiute Indian Rangers doing the arrests. They are tough because they have to deal with a lot of problems with alcohol and drugs among their own people. They have a slightly different court system on the Reservation than what these protesters are expecting to receive in a White Man’s courtroom. 

One of the things I loved about this video is the instant justice.  These activists know that, once the arrest is a done deal, they're home free.  Some leftist group or Hollywood star will pay their bail, and a plea deal will be worked out that says that the three hours before their bail was paid constitutes "time served."

. . ." Stuff that works in blue cities but doesn’t seem to work in Nevada:

“We were just standing here” “What’s your badge number?” “Please, we’re just environmental protestors” “I’m not part of this”
