   Shocking video footage making the rounds on social media shows Nevada   
   rangers allegedly plowing through a blockade set up by climate protestors   
   on the road to Burning Man.   
      
   The footage shows six demonstrators, reportedly from Seven Circles and   
   Extinction Rebellion, blocking the road with a trailer as part of the   
   environmental activists’ demands that Burning Man — an annual festival in   
   Nevada — ban private jets and single-use plastics.   
      
   The groups might now also want to ban police vehicles ramming through   
   their makeshift site.   
      
   Rangers from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police Department of Nevada   
   can be seen plowing straight through the blockade and arresting   
   demonstrators.   
      
   One cop can be seen drawing his weapon and threatening to shoot a   
   demonstrator as screams are heard.   
      
   “Words fail. Words utterly fail. Today a police truck PLOWED INTO a   
   peaceful climate blockade. These are the people “entrusted” to keep us   
   safe. These are the people we have granted a monopoly on the use of force.   
   How is this ok?” @ClimateDefiance commented on social media site X   
   (formerly Twitter).   
      
   The group refers to itself on X as a “brand-new, youth-led group using   
   direct action to resist fossil fuels.”   
      
   “Nevada rangers drove directly into a blockade set up by climate   
   protestors on the road to Burning Man. An officer pulled a gun out,   
   tackling a protestor and threatening to shoot. Environmental activists   
   were demanding that #BurningMan ban private jets + single-use plastics,”   
   said X user @MichelleLhooq, who shared the video footage.   
      
   The climate-change and anti-capitalist activists blocked the main road to   
   the festival, according to U.K.-based The Independent, causing traffic   
   chaos on Sunday.   
      
   Their protests were aimed at the “popularization of Burning Man among   
   affluent people who do not live the stated values of Burning Man,   
   resulting in the commodification of the event,” according to the New York   
   Post.   
      
   Burning Man is an annual art and self-expression event that takes place in   
   Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.
