Here we are with the new Monday update...
The main addition is the POLICE TUTORIAL. The idea is to give a basic overview of the main functions you can perform as the police. For a more in-depth analysis of what the police can do, you’ll need to look at the game’s wiki section (there’s a lot of functions the tutorial doesn’t cover).
Background to the Police Tutorial
The Police tutorial is based around real-world events that occurred in Genoa, Italy back in 2001 when the G8 Summit was held in the city. The "Armando Diaz" School, the temporary headquarters of the Genoa Social Forum, was also raided shortly before midnight on July 21. The State Police of Genoa, Rome and Milan attacked the buildings, with the operational support of some battalions of the Carabinieri.

Following the raid, 93 protesters were arrested. 61 were seriously injured and taken to hospital - three of them were in a critical condition and one in a coma. Several of the arrested protesters were tortured and humiliated before being released. The police also planted evidence including Two Molotov cocktails, an array of knives, sledgehammers and pickaxes. All of which they claimed to have found at the school.
Over 70 police officers were subsequently sent to trial but none were charged due to delays in the investigation and incompleteness of Italian laws under which torture is not recognised as a crime. On April 7, 2015, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the Italian police had violated the European Convention on Human Rights and ordered compensation for a protester beaten by the police. The “Mexican butchery’ dealt out by the police cost the chief of police a mere 47 euro and 57 cents.

Other content
Also included in the update is first version of the REBEL tutorial. The team is still working on this section but for now you should be able to get a better understanding of the rebels’ main actions. In the next update (coming later this week) we’ll aim to offer the complete version. Keep an eye on this hub for the update.
Alongside all of these new features, the team have been working diligently to resolve various performance and stability issues.
We’d like to thank everyone experiencing issues of this nature for their continued patience whilst the team continue their efforts.

- RIOT - Civil Unrest Soundtrack and Art Book
As the world’s economical crisis deepens and inequality tears the very fabric of society the discontentment of the masses manifests itself in violent public disturbances and civil disorder.
RIOT – Civil Unrest is the highly anticipated real-time riot simulator that places the player right in the heart of some of the world’s most fractious clashes. Campaigns include: Indignados (Spain), Arab Spring (Egypt), Keratea (Greece) and NoTAV (Italy). Seventeen single level scenarios include Rome, Oakland, Paris, London and Ukraine.
RIOT – Civil Unrest’s creator, Leonard Menchiari, experienced rioting first-hand at the NoTAV protests in Italy. He created the game to tell the stories and express the feelings experienced during these clashes. What triggers the crowd to behave with such anger and aggression? Often outnumbered, what does a police officer feel like during the conflict? RIOT – Civil Unrest presents the player with the opportunity to experience both sides of the fight - a fight in which there really are no winners. Who is right and who is wrong? Experience RIOT – Civil Unrest and draw your own conclusions.
