I bet the science people that study riots n stuff are so excited to do science study stuff about this
Whoa, whoa, there's riot science? Man I've been taking the wrong courses.
"Riot science" sounds metal as fuck.
New industrial metal band
Take a look at Mehdi Moussaid’s work. a French guy studying mobs, how people act like fluids in high number. Riots are just a part of it.
You may find videos on YT, automatically translated I guess.
I've read similar ideas about traffic acting like fluid in a pipe. I suppose starlings and those big schools of fish probably have some similarities, too L.
maybe try sociology? sounds like something they'd do (the science, probably not the riots)
