People drinking and having a good times, and then the SWAT teams show up and start beating the crap out of people. And they call it a riot. Who incited the violence? The militarized cops, that’s who.

Righto. When people are drinking, having a good time and stabbing people, and then cops who show up in response to the stabbings are injured, the cops should not respond.
Or possibly they shouldn’t respond to the stabbings.
Are there usually stabbings at the “good times” in which you participate?
.
The cops were called to a stabbing and a few of them are dumb enough to get smacked with bricks and beer bottles. Dumb cops. Guess they should have ignored the stabbings. Darn them for doing their job.

"The trouble started about 8 p.m. Saturday night as sheriff's deputies responded to two stabbings on Camino Del Sur."
"About 9:30 p.m., a UCSB police officer was hit in the head with a backpack full of liquor bottles. Two Santa Barbara County sheriff's deputies also responded and were injured. One deputy was hit with a bottle and will undergo surgery on his hand. The violence escalated and another deputy was hit in the head with a brick."
"About 10:30 p.m., it turned into a riot with people in the crowd tearing down stop signs, setting mattresses on fire, and throwing more bottles, bricks and other objects at law enforcement. All emergency personnel were told to leave the area for their safety including paramedics and county firefighters."
You have a peculiar opinion on what constitutes a good time.
I am sure that if these were all Blacks, at say, Jacksonville Beach, you would be singing a different tune.
