Protests and riots continue in Portland, Oregon where the police are having a hard time controlling the unruly crowds. When a bad actor in the crowd threw a molotov cocktail at the police, it didn’t quite make it. What it did do, however, is hit a fellow protester rioter, and that guy was lit on fire.
Then, the police come to help him, even though they were the intended target.

Hundreds of protesters are out in Portland tonight for the 100th night of demonstrations. Police have blocked the road. We are already seeing molotov cocktails from protesters and riot-control munitions from police. pic.twitter.com/O6b1fC0OHq

I have a feeling that this is going to be the next meme of 2020.
I hope that the guy is alright, and I also hope that the destruction comes to an end. We can all agree that change needs to be made, but these acts aren’t helping any cause. Anywhere.
At all.
