There's a video of them escaping
haha.
anyway, of course the framing is "they are endangering everyone around them, including their families" because the cops want everybody to know that they will open fire in any situation and blow away passersby, because collective punishment is policy.
secondly, the bozos in charge of the facility are claiming their jail is underfunded. good god, i would love to see NOLA's funding and the amount of funding their police force/punishment apparatus gets (both as a portion of funding and from local funds, state funds and federal grants). it's gotta be wild, as a percentage, compared to almost any city of the same size in the developed world... even probably compared to a lot of the US.
It's not that out of line for the US: https://www.vera.org/publications/what-policing-costs-in-americas-biggest-cities
They are mad corrupt, though.
