        @BBCBreaking It did not trigger days of riots; it triggered days of police violence.

        @BBCBreaking "days of riots"? That seems an inappropriate description for protests met with militarized force.

        @BBCBreaking They have not been 'days of riots', they have been a militarized response to PEACEFUL protests. BBC should NOT misinform.

        @BBCBreaking The only 'riot' was a single, small group isolated incident of one looting of one building, so far. Not *days* of *riots*
