Riot

Riots are a form of civil disorder characterized by mass vandalism, violence, or other crime. They generally occur as a culmination of some sort of popular grievance or dissent, usually dealing with poor living conditions, oppression, taxation, conflicts between races or religions, et cetera. Such law enforcement organizations as the Coruscant Guard or the Corporate Sector Authority's Security Police were used to suppress rioters.
