Having seen nearly 100 videos shot by participants and media (of the 500 or so that have been archived and are online as I speak, which anyone can look at), as well as Law Enforcement cameras, there is no other word for it, if one is in possession of one's own mental capacities, than to describe this event as a "riot".
