Description:
<ins>Based on the Chinese comic panels from:</ins>
After hearing many independent journal reports about the <ins>Native American protests against *DAPL**</ins> (Dakota Access
Pipeline), I decided I wanted to draw my first political cartoon about the *O*xymoronic *I*nquisition *L*egionnaire
(O.I.L) police brutality, militarization and hypocrisy against the <ins>peaceful (yet very adamant) water</ins> <ins>protectors</ins> and
their blind servitude to protecting an oiled corporate machine instead of the American citizens.
<ins>Crimes against citizens by the “O.I.L police” included (but not limited to):</ins>
-None
-throwing protesters into dog kennels
-issuing an arrest warrant against a journalist covering the protest
-None
-almost blowing off an arm of a protester with a concussion grenade
As winter is coming (excuse the GoT reference), criminal cops are now issuing $1000 fines to collaborators who
support the native protesters with winter supplies and gear, to which I say:
“<ins>They might as well throw the Native Americans into a large walk-in meat freezer!</ins>” (hence the choice of cartoon depiction)
I chose Zecora to be the <ins>main protagonist</ins> in this short comic, because some Black Lives Matter members are None, plus her forest home was the great lumber source to make more toothpicks for the Flim Flam Industries, so I figured she would be a greater motivating leader (and target) for this cartoon.

<ins>Note:</ins> The title of the comic comes from a similar phrase meaning “pour oil on troubled waters”, which means
to calm down a situation or person
