* BoringButPractical: Tactical units of the Police are the perfect example.\\
Unlike the Assault and Ballistic unit, that both have offensive abilities, the Tactical unit has the defensive ability "Testudo" that makes the officers slower, compact and more resistant.\\
Even if they are not that exciting, a Tactical unit in Testudo formation can slowly push the Rioters out of a zone without a single drip of blood or deny them entry to a sector without violence.

If one group get Violent and the the other start fighting back, the perception of the population after Provocative is not Violent, is Payback. At this stage any violent act against the other team is excused as rightful retaliation and will not detract any Political Points from the final evaluation.

-->-- Raptor, realizing that those protester failed a Molotov throw.
Riot: Civil Unrest is an indie game produced by the Italian Leonard Menchiari, and focus on real riots and protesters that happened during the time span of 2011-2014, like the No TAV protests in Italy, the Tahrir Revolution in Egypt, the Indignados movement in Spain and the Battle of Keratea in Greece.
The original project started in 2014 with an Indiegogo campaign, and was published on Steam December 6 2017 in early access. Was published as a complete project in February 12 2019.
The game let the player choose between the Rioters and the Police, in an asymmetrical clash between the firsts, less organized and less resistant but that can use the advantage of numbers, and the seconds, more organized and armed with more powerful gear but clearly outnumbered by the protesters.
After a protest or riot, the game will evaluate the performance of each group by Military Points and Political Points, the first evaluate the success in completing the objectives, like destroying equipment, occupying or liberating an area or pushing the other team away, while the latter will evaluate the violence used by both factions, detracting points for any act like a charge, an injured bystander or a protester or officer killed.

!! Riot: Civil Unrest contains examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]: Shotguns of the Ballistic Units of the Police can be armed with shotguns loaded with Beanbag ammo and Rubber bullets. They are actually used by Riot Police and SWAT teams all around the world as a less lethal alternative to live ammunition.
* ImprovisedWeapon: A big part of the Rioters weaponry is improvised. Some example are: Molotovs, Paper Bombs, Fireworks shot through a plastic tube and DIY Smoke Grenades.\\
When Rioters get aggressive they will also throw anything they have to the officers, like chairs, bicycles, signs, rocks, flags, etcetera.
* MolotovCocktail: The Rioters have them available as one of their equipment. Very effective against a compact groups of officers.
* PoliceBrutality: Police squads can be ordered to act in two modes: Defensive and Offensive.\\
In Offensive mode they will actively hit protesters in their range with batons and shields, not caring about possibly injuring them. Ballistic units can also be armed with weapons loaded with live ammunition.\\
The chief officer will also point it out: "Careful men, the press will eat us alive if we are too forceful."
* Revenge: On the top of the screen there is the perception that the population and the media have of both factions. These are Pacific, Provocative and Violent. If one group get Violent and the the other start fighting back, the perception of the population after Provocative is not Violent, is Payback. At this stage any violent act against the other team is excused as rightful retaliation and will not detract any Political Points from the final evaluation.
* UnfriendlyFire: Other officers can be hit and wounded by the bullets fired by Ballistic units, if they don't have a gas mask smoke grenades will also force officers to break the line and move out of the area as they, like the protestors, don't have any protection. They can also be shoved to the ground by water jets from their water cannons.\\
Rioters should also pay attention as paper bombs, fireworks and Molotovs can damage or panic their owns if they are thrown badly.
