The video shows the sister wearing gloves, slicing through tree branches on the side of the road.Sister Margaret Ann told The Washington Post the officer told her, “You know, the police will do this.”“I said, ‘Well maybe so, but it will take a while — and they have more important things to do, really.’ ” [The nuns fighting the pipeline lost their case in court.
