Watch this riveting documentary to become permanently disgusted with the US’s handling of Peltier’s case.
Robert Redford narrates this documentary about the Pine Ridge Shootout on an Oglala Sioux reservation in South Dakota. On June 26, 1975, two FBI agents are searching for tribesman Leonard Peltier, wanted in connection with an assault. They are killed after coming under heavy fire, presumably from Peltier and his accomplices. However, proponents claim that the FBI botched the investigation by tampering with and suppressing evidence, and that Peltier’s imprisonment is a miscarriage of justice.
“miscarriage of justice” is an understatement.
What do we infer from seeing one stuck open already – are they able to be broken or forced open by a body slam or something?
Also curious if this could have happened when the gate tried to close but someone’s rolling suitcase or whatever was still in the way.
