Not entirely sure what the backstory is on this. But man they are not happy. Many, man riots like this go unreported in the mainstream Western media.... but they are increasingly being leaked out of China more and via cell phones and other new methods.

Check out the haphazard defensive phalanx the riot police pull.

石首事件:
6月20日湖北省石首市,几万民众将前来镇压的上千武警击退!
石首发生离奇命案,警方不仅不侦察破案,反而派出武警强行镇压民众。这世上难道就没有 正义的领导?仅剩下正义的民众?可换来的却是无情的镇压!
Shishou City, Hubei Province, tens of thousands of people thousands of armed police repulsed!

Shishou bizarre murder occurred, the police not only to crack the case and sent armed police force to suppress the people. Is this world there is no justice officials, leaving only the people of justice in return for only a merciless repression?

Granted this is YouTube. But as we see in many parts of the world where reporters and journalist are banned from covering such incidents - often time the first hand footage pops up on YouTube first. This would hardly be the first incident of this size. Very interesting.

Ok here's some more backstory here with links to more formal media sources.

It sounds like the typical problem in China. Police collusion/corruption and the death of a common working person being covered up or something funny going on...

increasingly here in China we see the poor and the farmers and the common person not willing to just be payed off. They are increasingly starting to resort to mass uprising to get change. Very interesting.
