HONG KONG FREE ENTERPRISE ZONE: The fires are still burning this morning at Pak Sha Wan prison in the wake of last night’s violent riots. Prisoners seized the opportunity of the official hand-off date between the (now defunct) Hong Kong Municipal Police Force and newly ordained HK Knight-Errant Police force to stage the largest prison-wide riots in over 100 years. The riots were eventually quelled by a group of Knight-Errant forces that had arrived early to tour the facility. “Even though the official hand-off hadn’t taken place, we stepped in to help as soon as the alarms were sounded,” stated K-E Lieutenant Karl Pak,”Orders be damned, when those prisoners started killing cops, we couldn’t just stand idly by.” Twelve HKMPF officers are reported dead, and several or K-E officers on site were treated for minor injuries.
