They tend to blow things out of proportion. You may have heard about the "rioting" here late Saturday night and into early Sunday morning. The Bud World beer garden shut down because it was full. Some people that couldn't get in were angry. The SLC police showed up. It took 3-4 hours to get things calmed down. But, one local station treated it as a huge, riotous mob and had at least a half-hour special report and several other shorter ones about this. In the end, a couple of stores had broken windows, as did a couple of police cars, and 20 people were arrested.
