The video, taken by FreedomNewsTV, begins with people arguing with the demonstrators over the trailer in the road. Leaning up against the trailer are signs that say,"General Strike for Climate" and,"Abolish Capitalism."
Members of the public and the protesters argue over a trailer that had been set up in the middle of the road, blocking traffic."I don’t care... there are people with medical problems here and you are causing them to be in the f------ hot sun," he responds. A protester, right, and a bystander argue over the effectiveness of blocking the road to raise awareness about climate change.
A person then asks him,"How are we going to change the world doing this, man?" pointing to the scene in the road. The scene in the middle of the road caused a heavy traffic jam in the Nevada desert."Get out now! On the ground! All of you on the ground now!" an officer says as he exits his Rangers truck with his weapon drawn. Nevada tribal police officers are seen taking a female protester into custody.
