Great post and links.
The Texas Penal Code 42.02 defines "Riot" as an assemblage of 7 or more.
I always heard that the number was significant, because Texas Rangers carried 6 shooters. Anything over 6 people, and he would need more help.

I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

Re: one riot, one Ranger.
Unless it's "Walker, Texas Ranger", then he can handle four riots - one with each hand and foot. 
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
