I guess a "riot" is defined as "young students milling around recording with their cellphones."


According to TFA:

> Officers in riot gear attended the scene and shot pepper balls at students


So, the police rioted.


I guess it's time for news outlets to dust off the old reliable "the protest turned violent".


Yes, when you peacefully gather in 2020 to express your disapproval of something, the police will show up in riot gear and shoot you with pepper balls.

Welcome to the future, citizen.


Also the local news - and a lot of twitter videos - make it look like a party. Beer and everything. Like the opposite of 'limit crowd contact' adding in a ton of germs from drunk college partiers.

Yes, but clickbait.
