Possible inclusion of FAQ section discussing why article doesn't include "riot"

Due to the repeated questioning as to why "riot" isn't included in the title, should we add why to an FAQ section? — Your local Sink Cat (The Sink). 01:12, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This might be a good idea considering how much it's asked. Akechi The Agent Of Chaos (talk) 04:47, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't. I understand the desire to enshrine the lingering division of beliefs about what actually happened during the protests because of how heavily the news coverage was slanted compared to many of the first-hand accounts by people who were actually there.

Like it or not, these events are still extremely fresh and the battle over the political framing surrounding them will still be waged for years, if not decades.

It's deeply troubling, but Wikipedia editors covering current events need to be wary of creating dry tinder for misinformation peddlers historical negation myths.

Why do these riots chronologically match the missle attacks on the terrorist drug cartel's fentanyl manufacturing center? Was this a protest against the war on terror? Are protesters receiving appropriate inquisition for their involvement in Anti-American terrorist activity? 🤔 71.38.87.30 (talk) 04:57, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Riot

Riots is when property is destroyed and people were assaulted and attacked in the streets which happened this year in Los Angeles. Stop being politically biased and call it the riot it was 2600:1700:7BA0:F870:4488:5F94:AB04:119C (talk) 03:51, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The second sentence starts with "some protests turned into riots". What changes are you suggesting? And do you have reliable sources to cite for your changes? - Adolphus79 (talk) 05:55, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
