Not just the title. The article is heavily biased. Framing protestors as “vigilantes” implies wrongdoing, and using words like “protestors facing off with police” with no other context implies that protestors and police are equal or comparable in force. It’s not even close.

Wouldn't want to imply wrongdoing on the part of arsonists, after all.
