Sounds exactly like something the Illuminati would do :P

To be honest, I wouldn't put it past Picus to fabricate something like this. It would be relatively easy to create some fake footage of riots and fool people watching the news. It'd be pretty impressive if they managed to trick people into thinking a riot was happening all around them though!

As for a motive for this, making the anti-aug side look bad doesn't really fit their agenda. They're interested in riling people up about mechanical augmentations so that the UN will be forced to place restrictions on it. Making people outraged enough to start riots works to their advantage. I suppose pretending there's riots could work just as well as there being actual ones, as long as people are convinced.
