A documentary discusses this horrible occurrence at a sports stadium; the great public facility and emblem of civil society alongside schools and churches.
There were many injuries to citizens and to police as well. Some of them sued for injuries suffered. These suits included the tort of emotional distress. Please see White v Chief Constable of the South Yorkshire Police (1999). A new phenomenon as depicted in several news reels and popular movies is the risk of facing difficult crowds who are not only disorderly but who may have infectious diseases. This may include well-meaning students and professionals involved in sharing social drugs or glasses of wine or open communion cups. Well-meaning first responders, regardless of the time in history or the current generation, are usually hit with objects and spat on. They wear rubber gloves and protective shields but the rubber glove companies are now coming out with full double-membrane, breathable transparent facial masks that will prevent the passage of liquids(except acids) into the nasal cavities or the eyes where a well meaning responder could contract a virus of some kind. It's nothing personal. It's just that they are not paid or educated to contract disease in obvious risk scenarios only to, unwittingly, pass them on to their wives and children to end up getting divorced, paying spousal and child support when the only explanation for such a disease is contact with rioters during a well videoed( by smart phone) social sit-in about better public transport or warmer school buildings.
