- On Nov. 20, 2016, police officers use water cannons against the North Dakota Access Pipeline protesters. Four hundred protesters try to push past a barricaded bridge to get onto the pipeline's construction site. They are met by police officers with tear gas, rubber bullets, and eventually, water cannons—in sub-zero temperatures. At least 17 of the protesters are taken to the hospital, some for severe cases of hypothermia.
