After two hours, officials categorized this event as an unlawful assembly and ruled the crowd to disperse. But, the rioters didn’t obey the police orders. Instead, they started stealing rocks and bricks from the neighbors to fight with the officers.
Because the rioters fought back and attacked the officers violently, this protest became a riot. When the crowd moved back a few blocks, police disengaged.
