I see both sides of the argument here.
You can't trust mass media, regardless of the source; they will always copy off one another, so if one site, Left-aligning says the sky is green, they'll say it for X reasons, and a Right-aligning site will say it's green because the Left-aligned site said it, but they'll use Y reasons as opposed to X reasons -- and vice-versa (with the Left feeding off the Right with their own spin).
Both are still saying the sky is green, though.
They could be telling the truth. They could be spinning things.
On the other hand... sorry guys, but after Portland and a ton of other cities' crime-waves in recent years (Chicago, for example, is refusing to post yearly bike-theft statistics any more because, sadly enough, most of the thieves are Black and they're worried about "looking racist"), the optics for pictures like this aren't good, even if it's an innocent family just salvaging their own belongings from their owned ruined home.
The stereotype has truth to it, even though it doesn't apply to American Blacks in totality, and if it were a normal-looking (and not methhead-looking people) White family doing the same thing? Most people wouldn't think that they're looters as a major possibility.
Portland and that portion of American Blacks committing so many damn crimes in recent years have backfired on American Blacks as a whole completely.
