Although back then, with the widespread poverty and harsh working conditions, perhaps there was a bit more justification for it.

Riots in Liverpool

From the Centennial Courier:

Rioting in Liverpool

From Liverpool, 14 August. Strikers this afternoon looted and plundered the town hall and police headquarters. The mayor was wounded in the head by a stone. Troops dispersed the rebellious crowd. In Aldershot 5000 more troops are preparing to be sent to Liverpool. A message confirms that the army shot crowds at Liverpool. Rioters wanted to loot and destroy private homes. (translation improved)
