What's the normal status of a city in terms of being on fire? What's your standard here - Dresden?
No cities in America are ‘going up in flames’ or ‘on fire’.
A few fires started as a result of the protests.
Making it sound like some post-apocalyptic or wartime scene is just disinformation.
On the other hand we are wistnessing the largest set of mostly peaceful political demonstrations since the 60’s.
