I think January 6 was a coup attempt. However the violence around the George Floyd affair was riots.
This car was parked outside my daughters apartment and blown up and set on fire by an explosive device. She and her two children arrived on our doorstep badly shaken up in the early hours of the morning. Her son was very shaken up and had acute psychiatric distress, requiring intervention. I can tell you, they no longer reside on Minneapolis and joined the flight to the suburbs.
If that's not riot, I don't know what is.
