As far as I can tell its a pretty pointless riot. Wasn't it started when some guy tried to shoot a cop, missed and then the cop shot back in defence and killed him? I think it started as a peaceful riot though, but then some dickhead's got mixed in and everything went sour. I feel sorry for all the innocent people who have to put up with the looting and burning.
