My point stands. Owing to their tribal allegiances, the news outlets I cited are not using the word ‘riot’. The difference between ‘protests’ and ‘riots’ should be the behaviour of the crowd, not how sympathetic the news source is to their cause. But those are the times we live in.

This might be splitting hairs, but when I think of a riot I think of the majority of the crowd going nuts....rioting....vs a large protest where a smaller subset are causing mayhem.
