How to use "Riot" in context?
Riots can be defined as a form of civil disobedience characterized by intense anger and violence towards authority. They often result from deep-seated social issues that are unresolved.
Riots typically take place in response to perceived injustices, and are usually triggered by a combination of factors, such as poverty, racism, political and economic inequality, and police brutality.
Since riots often reflect deep-seated social issues and are often motivated by grievances, they can quickly spiral out of control and become destructive, often resulting in loss of property, injuries, and fatalities.
