Protesters Torch U.S. Flag on Pile of Burning Trash in Brooklyn

Rioters in Brooklyn, New York, set multiple small fires on the streets and burned U.S. flags. The riots broke out after protesters took to the streets over the shooting of an armed Black man in Philadelphia on Monday.

A photo tweeted by NYC Protest Updates 2020 shows piles of garbage being burned. One of the photos shows a man tossing an American flag over one of the fires.

The unrest began in Brooklyn after protesters came out against police over the shooting of Walter Wallace, Jr., in Philadelphia on Monday. A witness’s video clearly shows Wallace advancing toward retreating officers with a knife in his hand, Breitbart News reported.

Videographer Lanier “Issa” Lewis tweeted a video of a man walking down the street carrying a burning U.S. flag.
