Like a horde of mindless beasts,
the rioters appeared,
rushing out of a street corner,
a situation everyone feared.
They surged towards the police line,
approaching officers holding shields,
armed with batons, tear-gas canisters,
all ready for battle to wield.
A mindless battle then ensued,
with rioters stoning the officers in view,
who replied with tear gas rounds and baton charge,
to drive them away, and to capture a few.
