What the fact-checkers found

Based on search results, the claim that another prediction from the cartoon The Simpson was again proven by linking pieces of the Springfield police post on fire to the film The Simpson with the burning of a building in Minneapolis is false.

The building on fire in the photo is not a police station, but a housing complex under construction in South Minneapolis.

A photo identical to the image uploaded by the claim source was posted on the site startribune.com in an article titled “Minneapolis vandalism targets include 189-unit affordable housing development” on May 28, 2020.

Photos and videos of the building’s burning moments are summarized in an article titled “Minneapolis BLM Riot: $ 30 M Affordable Housing Complex Under Burned Construction to The Ground” which was posted on the informationliberation.com website on May 28, 2020.
