No, it's terrorism. The media has just turned that into a bad word for anything they don't like. The government using violence to make you follow the law? Also terrorism. Just read the definition. It's just been made to be that the word terrorism is only used for non-state violence. It's been turned into this purely evil force (typically done by brown people), rather than using the tools of violence to change behavior.
