You know what a riot is, right? How do you expect to set up a tripod and use the followfocus during "moderate or heavy rioting"? ;-)

Could this be used to shoot such a riot?

Just an idea :) Sit comfy in some lodge nearby and fly the damn thing remotely. Possible?

Should you be in a situation where fighting is occurring people could end up pushed, shoved or even felled in between you. When the camera operator has his back to the sound man it's a pretty hard job to stop these such people ending up between you, especially when the experienced sound recordist has one hand holding a boom pole or mic!
It was done in the days of shooting high band U matic with the sound recordist carrying a heavy 3/4" VTR. Using a mixer with single system film sound or Betacam is a lot easier.

I wouldn't be too concerned about people being pushed or shoved around you, that's to be expected, it's when they start pulling knives on you that I tend to get worried.
