> What are you supposed to do...?
Well, you can
> ...[seek] to violently overthrow the democratically elected president Lula, who had been inaugurated on 1 January. Many rioters said their purpose was to spur military leaders to launch a "military intervention" (related to a misinterpretation of the 142nd article of the Brazilian constitution and a euphemism for a coup d'état) and disrupt the democratic transition of power.
> Several law enforcement officers assaulted and injured by rioters, at least 44 hospitalized [1]
You can have, in Donald Trump's words, "a day of love." [2]
