This was at the beginning of the riot after the mass had formed at "The O" You can notice the police helicopter arriving, by the end of the night there would be three. (though I'm fairly certain one was a news helicopter as it had no spotlight.) I will be posting more videos of the night when it gets more violent, after you have seen all the nights events from which you will see this was indeed a riot. I will try to include when the events happen in the description from now on though.

I'm entitled to my opinion whether I was there or not. I know there was rioting, but I don't see any in this footage.  I was on the South Side. I prefer a jubilant celebration to rich kids tipping over cars.

Were you there? If so, you're entitled to your own opinion.

If not, well, although this itself does not look very riot-ish, trust me...it was a riot. This is, I'm guessing, towards the beginning, or perhaps when the epicenter was moving to the Cathedral or CMU.

Not a riot.
