So I know there was a cop car that was torched back in May and a few


broken windows, but can't imagine the business district is all "boarded up" three months later. I'd add that "riot" is a pretty strong word but to the extent Philly had one (instead of protests where some assholes not even part of the political movement showed up and broke stuff) it was far and away one of the most intense set of events, while the overwhelming majority of cities just had peaceful protests.

DC had some property damage too (including my firm's building) but it was just broken or cracked windows that were repaired the next week. Unfortunate, but hardly consistent with the narrative you're espousing.
