Riot porn is video footage or photographs taken during protests and riots from around the world. They are often violent images taken typically after police brutality has occurred; however, many images are of violence on the part of protesters– usually towards public/private/police property. It is also a great example of independent journalism: these protests are often unreported (or hidden away in on page A28 without an image) and so the activists do the job themselves. It helps that the images are graphic and emotional, getting a point across while using little words;however, they are often present in blogs devoted to the subject.Furthermore, there are available movies of riot porn collections for sale through activist publishers and distros. Molotovs, burning cars, tossing tear gas back at the riot police, police batons, spitting out blood and teeth, broken ribs, concussions, and the occasional sweet shot back ensues…
!!!!WARNING!!!!: the following are examples of what you would see in a riot porn video, some of this material is graphic (not really: more politically offensive to some, the videos can get quite graphic with a mixture of sad and exhilarating.)
With that said, Enjoy!
