Add Dee Snider to the list of celebrities that have voiced their support of the water protectors at Standing Rock. He even wrote a song and released a new music video about the movement.
Snider recently spoke with the New York Post saying, “To see U.S. government state and local authorities, along with hired private security, use this type of extreme violent force against unarmed American citizens in peaceful prayer is the saddest, most disturbing thing I have ever experienced. I'm glad we were there to capture the truth for all to see.”
Dee Snider has also been pretty vocal over the matter on his twitter account. Here are just a few of the tweets on the matter.
To me that is the least of it. The human rights abuse & silencing of the media (First Amendment) are what pushed me over the edge! #NoDAPL https://t.co/Q9IRd8YCtE

The authorities at Standing Rock literally tear gassed & shot at my son @CodyBlueSnider & his crew for filming. No one does that to my kid!

Here's my point: fuck those guys. The Indian nations have decided enough is enough and we need to back their play. #SoWhat #NoDAPL https://t.co/E4YRZXH6Bx

says:This upsets me on so many levels. When even the government said no, the company is going ahead anyway?? Can this be real? Will they be arrested for breaking the law?? And the fact that our “media” refuses to cover this speaks to who really is in control in our society these days..
My heart and soul goes out to the ones that refuse to give up.. I will be watching, and hoping.
