From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_State_University_student_riots#April_2,_2005

An estimated 2,000 students and non-students took to the streets immediately following the MSU men's basketball team's loss to UNC in the NCAA Final Four. An estimated $8,275 in damage to the city of East Lansing and an estimated $190,389 in expenses to the area law enforcement was caused by the riots. The April 2nd event was marked by accusations of police abuse and mismanagement. Though large segments of the disturbance were documented on video, no specific acts of violence were seen until after tear gas was launched at students. The City Council formed a commission to review the events and declined to assess blame to the students and police by a 5–4 vote.
The Reactions Forum was held to discuss what happened amongst the students.
