You missed the fundamental premise of the entire movie....the overall underlying demeanor of the aliens was their desire to really want to just get back home and not bother the humans. The only reason they ended up at Earth in the first place for 28 years was because a fundamental component of their ship had broke and then was lost.

The cause of the aliens rioting was because they were all forcefully encamped into a small area...all 1.8 million of them. They were all living on-top of the other. That itself would cause their "urban" unrest.

The humans on the other hand were doing what they always do in in reality today...being greedy and controlling and taking pleasure from hurting others whether they were other people or aliens.
