riot

A riot is a chaotic disturbance caused by a group of people expressing their anger, frustration, or protest through violent or disruptive actions. It often involves activities like smashing property, looting, and confronting authorities. Riots typically originate from social, political, or economic grievances and can escalate quickly, leading to damage, injury, or harm to individuals and communities. Law enforcement usually intervenes to restore order, but the underlying issues prompting the riot remain complex and may require broader solutions beyond immediate suppression.
