What does riot mean?

A riot is a form of civil disorder commonly characterized by public violence against government or other authority figures and property. Riots typically involve destruction of public or private property, with targets that can include shops, cars, restaurants, state-owned institutions, and religious buildings. Although a riot may be produced by political grievances, government offices themselves are not often targeted due to their strong protection.
