A multi-city riot sequence breaks out

Window: 2-6 weeks acute phase; multi-month aftermath

LevelElevated

What this is

Sequential urban riot events across multiple cities within a 2-6 week window, triggered by a precipitating incident (police killing, election dispute, economic shock, communal flashpoint). F-CT-8 τ-discharge: accumulated urban-grievance pressure discharges as property destruction + inter-group confrontation + state-police response — bounded violence rather than organized insurgency.
