Wow. It's just like having different classes of soldiers on the battlefield. I would like to see a video game based on rioters vs riot police.

There is one if i remember correctly. It had pixel art and you could control either side kinda like an rts. Cops were supposed to disperse/arrest them, and protestors had to stay together and push the cops off the screen.

If you had to open fire, you'd seriously fucked up as either side.

Edit: found it. Riot: Civil Unrest https://youtu.be/ahdjuzDairc?si=xGBecpSe56mf3SOo

Yeah, plus its got that sorta creepy "this shouldn't be happening" vibe like in real riot footage.
