What about it? Did it burn down? How many were injured?

It's interesting that people criticize the professional news media, then believe whatever they see on social media.

> riots happened

I expect some did, depending on the definition of riot, but that's not 'nationwide rioting' and a call to use the military to suppress the great majority of peaceful protests.

There was rioting in many major cities and it was absolutely appropriate to call in the national guard to put a stop to it. My family didn’t leave Bangladesh to put up with third-world behavior like that.

Protest isn't third-world behavior, and part of being in the US is not restricting other people's liberties - regardless of your personal preferences and outrage.

If they are harming others or causing significant material damage, that's another story, but even that is a matter of degree (especially the latter).
