市民の不安[暴動]。

Wikipediaによれば、

Civil disorder, also known as civil disturbance or civil unrest, is an activity arising from a mass act of civil disobedience (such as a demonstration, riot, or strike) in which the participants become hostile toward authority, and authorities incur difficulties in maintaining public safety and order, over the disorderly crowd.[1][2] It is, in any form, prejudicial to public law and order.[2]

一連のriotingで全米各地で夜間外出禁止令発令、サンノゼも例にもれず。SJPDの署長によれば彼の記憶する限りここ30年ほどで初めての発令らしい。

ツイッターにも書いたけど、プロテストは支持するけど、それに乗じたrioting/lootingやる輩は絶対許されるべきではない。
