This is a dope question. My short answer is that I prefer riot, but will not try to correct anyone calling it an uprising or rebellion.https://twitter.com/lejbaj/status/829100978280464385 …

I do think that there was an organic (and therefore disorganized) nature to the riots. I also think that's worth claiming.

A rebellion or uprising implies that an identifiable political group or party did the work/organizing. This wasn't that. And that's ok.

I also acknowledge that riot implies an individualistic motivation. This wasn't that, either. I don't know that there's a perfect term tbh.
