Well a quick search returned these two links:

https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/gttqkt/looted_iphones_show_this_screen/
Both showing the same image.
I don't think Apple deserved to be punished because of the governments' actions, especially when Apple has usually been more in support of the people than the government
Looters are not basing anything on the Government actions. They are committing crimes, and taking advantage of an opportunistic time in history and have nothing to do with the protests that are occurring.
