I don't think the "West End Riots" in London of 1886 (apparently
initiated by the early Social Democratic Federation/Hyndman, see
Comments on an "Anti-Capitalist" Riot by Friedrich Engels
http://www.whatnextjournal.org.uk/Pages/Back/Wnext19/Engels.html ) are
comparable to the recent grass-roots protests around the U.S. against
police brutality, violence and murders. I think Engels would
solidarize with the recent U.S. riots.
a pertinent comment on current riots:
"Riots are communities defining what counts as police brutality and to
set the limits of authority. It is here, not in the courts, that our
rights are established."
