Riot is what happens when two factions become violent against each other or a group of people go on a vandalism spree or when marchers are met with violent police actions and the marchers fight back.

This was not that. This was an armed mob sent by the President of our country to violently interfere and stop the political work of elected Congresspeople because said President decided he wanted to stay in power against the wishes of the electorate.

I originally just put ARRESTED, but thought that was too vague.
