The Tulsa Race Riots in the 1920's were terrible. The authorities? They helped. There are pictures of sheriffs standing over dead bodies. Tulsa was also the first city to be bombed by its own authorities when they dropped molotov cocktails from low flying planes.

Stay indoors and do not get involved at all.Stay away from them. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; if you're anywhere near a riot...you're either "one of them" (a rioter) or a "cop" (authorities). Bystanders & looky-loos are part of the riot...in the eyes of uniformed personnel.
