disturbances
Explanation:
Francis is right: more details would be *very* helpful. If you don't have them, "disturbances" might be the safest option - it would include serious rioting but wouldn't be 'over the top' if the incidents being described were relatively minor.

Ouch-striding


Explanation:
Dieses Mal möchte ich von keinem Kontext etwas wissen und melde mich mit einer ganz wörtlichen Übersetzung von Au (Ouch) schreitung (striding). Aber vielleicht ist da ja ein Tippfehler, und es heißt, Au-schreiung, dass jemand also AUA schreit, dann heißt es natürlich Ouch-screaming... Love you all! :-)
