A rioter is a participant in a revolt, which is an organized uprising against an authority or government. Rioters are often seen as the most active participants in a revolt, as they are usually the ones engaging in physical acts of protest such as blocking roads, occupying public spaces, and engaging in violent clashes with police or other authorities. Rioters are also known for their use of creative tactics to draw attention to their cause, such as using art, music, and other forms of expression to spread their message.
