A riot is a violent disturbance involving a group of people, as shown in the image of the 1934 Minneapolis Teamsters Strike where armed workers clashed with police. Riots matter because they reflect serious social conflicts and tensions—in this case, labor disputes during economic hardship—and have significant consequences for both participants and communities.

Riots typically involve destruction of property, public or private. The property targeted varies depending on the riot and the inclinations of those involved. Targets can include shops, cars, restaurants, state-owned institutions, and religious buildings or other symbol of a targeted sector of the population. Although a riot may be produced by political grievances, government offices themselves are not often targeted due to their strong protection.
