I dont totally blame the parents, I am a parent and I know how hard it was to steer my children in the right direction to make wise choices as they were growing up. That said when my girls were 13, 14 I dam well knew where they were and who they were with (control freak of a mother). So I think an element of blame lies with parents.

Stupidity, poverty, materialism all hit my radar as well, I dont think there is any one fact but a lot of factors that created the riots, I agree mob handed police played the biggest part as well.
