A faulty locking system allowed inmates at a downtown city jail to escape their cells Saturday before freeing other "very violent people" who then caused widespread damage on a floor of the jail, including smashing exterior windows and sending flaming debris to the sidewalk below, city officials said. About 115 inmates took control of the fourth floor of the City Justice Center, where they set fires, clogged toilets, flooded parts of the floor and caused other damage, officials said. [...] "These were just very angry, defiant, very violent people that we house at the Justice Center," the city's director of public safety, Jimmie Edwards, told reporters after the uprising was brought under control about 10 a.m. "No one at the Justice Center is housed for a misdemeanor, a municipal offense or a low-level felony. Everybody housed at the Justice Center is housed there because of very serious offenses like assault on police officers and homicide and things of that sort."Read more at: InformationLiberation.com and Rioting.news.
