CPD just relieved feds from this line too. Then a moment later the feds gassed the whole area, including the cops.

Yes, arresting a journalist for doing their job is a big flashing red light. But I don't want people to forget the whole reason everyone is out there.
This is what I saw inside:
Four holding rooms. Two smaller rooms were being used for holding protesters. Two larger rooms held ICE/CBP captives.

![Cruelty Some criticize the event for being inhumane and exploitative. For example, in 2013, the LSU Reveille published a piece calling the rodeo "reminiscent of the Roman gladiators (read: glorified slaves)" and "barbaric at best."l Several events are specifically designed to endanger the lives of participating inmates, like the especially dangerous convict poker, where a bull is released with the sole purpose of unseating poker players, and the players must resist the urge to run away in order to win. Some measures, like helmets, mouth guards, and vests, have been put in place to prevent serious injury. But injuries are still common, in part due to the fact that inmates receive no training before they participate. While the event is voluntary and many inmates speak its praises, the chance to win cash prizes of up to $500 (in the case of the Guts & Glory event) is a strong economic incentive for inmates to put themselves in harm's way, especially since inmates' wages usually earn them between $0.02 and $0.75 an hour. Critics say the prize money compromises the voluntary nature of the event (11][10]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdwbueuubpctzvwl7cpwfpil/bafkreie3s3fmzd2fgeencxtu3mc5uze2apqn5q6nphttylzdyl4ntkai5i@jpeg)
![Finances In 2017, the Angola rodeo's bank records for the last 10 years were audited following an earlier audit that showed mishandiing 12)
An earlier audit found that $6.2 million in revenue from the rodeo in 2014 and 2015 was being kept in a private checking account instead of the Louisiana Department of Treasury. After this discovery, investigators realized that the rodeo's revenue had never been monitored by the state government since it began. The audit also discovered that funds had been improperly used to order a prison bus, and that $28,000 in concession sales between 2010 and 2015 had gone missing.12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdwbueuubpctzvwl7cpwfpil/bafkreifxqrur7grl6tbfzcysaikq67yfpz3heo7uojxh2b7zzooogiq7qe@jpeg)
