Riot
Riots happen when many people meet to be violent.[1] This can happen after sports events, during demonstrations. or as a protest. Rioters damage cars and buildings and attack other people, among other things.
The police are brought out to stop riots. In the Western world, they use shields and fight with soft weapons, for example with water cannons or rubber bullets, as well as with batons. When riots really get out of control, the police also use tools that can hurt people, such as tear gas and pepper spray,[2] and put the rioters under arrest. Riots are very dangerous and sometimes lead to deaths.
There have been many riots all over the world, especially in England, Northern Ireland, the United States, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Australia, France, Hong Kong, and Mainland China.[1]
