Neil Young has penned a passionate plea to Barack Obama and a message of solidarity regarding the Standing Rock protest.
Young’s Facebook statement comes after police fired rubber bullets and water cannons at protestors at the site of proposed Dakota Access Pipeline, an altercation that sent nearly 20 protestors to the hospital.
