Honestly I would never want to drive the sound cannon van. I can’t think of a police position where people would feel more motivated to drag them out and beat them to death.
I’m pretty sure this is a riot. like definitionally. or, I guess they’re an organized group running around hurting people for no reason? is that not a riot?
I don’t see any evidence of “hurting people for no reason” in that video. Do you see the large, unbroken, glass windows on both sides of the street?

Most governments choose to subsidize human survival because it looks better than having a high unemployment rate and people starving on the streets.
actully they were not being taken seriously until they got “violent”
