Days after local authorities were condemned for spraying people with water cannons in freezing temperatures,homemade mom sex videos Amnesty International has called for an end to America's "over-militarized" response to the Standing Rock protest in North Dakota.
On Saturday, the organisation demanded President Obama halt the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
It also condemned the "excessive" force used on those seeking to end the nearly 1,200-mile oil pipeline's advance under the Missouri River -- the chief water source for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

What they saw horrified them.
"People exercising their human rights to assemble, pray and speak out have been brutally arrested, shot with rubber bullets, drenched in tear gas, and sprayed with water in freezing temperatures," Zeke Johnson, managing director of Amnesty International USA's Individuals at Risk Program, wrote on Medium.
"Non-violent Indigenous People opposed to the Dakota Access pipeline have been met with over-militarized policing and excessive, disproportionate and unnecessary military force."
Since August, more than 525 people from throughout the country have been arrested during protests.
Divergent actor Shailene Woodley has also been vocal about Standing Rock, visiting the encampment in October.
Talking with Gaslanddirector Josh Fox recently, she said Obama must take a stand, Rolling Stonereported.
Acknowledging fears that President-elect Donald Trump would simply reverse any decision made by the president, Woodley said that was no reason for inaction.
"I ask that they look at this situation, not out of a place of fear -- if you're fearful that President-elect Trump will reinstall this pipeline, then you're going to have to trust that the people on the ground aren't going to let that happen."
The pipeline is being constructed by Energy Transfer Partners, a company in which Trump holds stock.
Woodley is one of many who have asked Obama to end the stand-off during his last months in office.
In a powerful video, Kendrick Eagle of the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota called for Obama to make good on his promises to America's first people.
Eagle said he met Obama in 2014 when the president visited Standing Rock, and also during a visit to D.C. "You came here to speak with the youth of Standing Rock," he said. "You gave us hope, a lot of hope."
"I'm here standing with my people talking to you, and asking you if you can come and help us stop this pipeline. I just want you to stick to your words. You said you would have our backs as long as you were in office."
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has told the water protectors to leave federal land by Dec. 5, including the main Oceti Sakowin camp.
