It won't be anger towards the federal government that eventually causes rioting; it will be missteps by local police departments. The writing is on the wall. Cops have decided to ignore history and come down on demonstrators with an iron fist. That never works out for anyone.
The really bad part is that police violence on crowds in one city turn the crowds against the cops in other cities. When a demonstrator is killed - and it's bound to happen eventually - shit is going to hit the fan across the country. That will coax out the young male protesters looking for a fight with authorities.
