Civil disorder
forms of unrest arising from a mass act of civil disobedience in which the participants become hostile toward authority, and authorities incur difficulties in maintaining public safety and order, over the disorderly crowd / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Civil unrest is when groups of people no longer obey the state order, and become violent. Civil unrest usually starts for a reason. Civil unrest can start because of social or economic problems. Very often, civil unrest is the result of one group of people oppressing another group of people.
