The four men, all from Leeds, are handed jail sentences at Leeds Crown Court.
Three men who set fire to a double-decker bus during a night of "mob violence" which began when four children were taken into care have been jailed.
Celan Palaghia, 21, was jailed for three years for throwing bricks at police officers and setting fire to boxes and a sofa in the street.The court heard police were called to help social services at the evening of 18 July, when a group gathered outside a house in Luxor Street and started shouting and becoming "disorderly".
Attempts were made to enlist the help of a Roma councillor to quell the rising tension, but by 18:30 BST the crowd numbered 300-400 people. Paul Addison, representing Dobre, said he became "drawn into the disorder" after hearing rumours "that some children from the Roma community had been maltreated by the authorities and the police".
The men were the first to receive jail sentences following the disorder in Harehills, described by Judge Tom Bayliss KC as “mob violence".
