A riot is a disturbance caused by a
potentially violent mob. In the UK,
riots formerly suppressed under the Riot Act
are now governed by the Public Order Act
1986. Methods of riot control include plastic
bullets, stun bags (soft canvas pouches
filled with buckshot which spread out in
flight), water cannon, and CS gas (tear gas).
