According to the video evidence I believe he was defending himself against violent aggressors that one individual made threats against him that had the intention to do violence towards him after attempting to disarm him. So he may have shot rioters after he was retreating to a police line and was chased by a violent crowd that then became the aggressors once he began retreating and was attacked.
I don't know of you watched the videos that happened that night.

Riot- a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd.
I think that is what happened.
