Coldbath Fields riot
An 1899 depiction of the riot
- ... that a jury ruled that the killing of a policeman during the Coldbath Fields riot (pictured) was justifiable homicide? Source: I've cited it to a book in the article but you can also find it in the online sources, eg: "The coroner's jury that examined the death of Culley returned a verdict of 'justifiable homicide'. The jury justified its verdict on the grounds that the crowd had not been ordered to disperse under the terms of the Riot Act, and that the 'conduct of the police was ferocious, brutal, and unprovoked by the people'." from: "Public Order: Heavy-Handed Policing: The Killing of Constable Culley". International Centre for the History of Crime, Policing and Justice. Open University. Retrieved 4 January 2022.

- Article is DYK-eligible and well sourced. Appears neutral. Quite well-written, too, although that isn't a DYK criterion. Earwig looks good. Hook is hooky, good length, sourced. Image is PD and quite crisp at DYK size.
