It's certainly not a threat to governments but it can be a threat to individuals. Some of the looting/mob attacks were coordinated on social media and the mobbing phenomenon is real and can have real world consequences. Of course governments aren't going to fall because the world isn't 1789 anymore. Just burning down a building isn't going to change the government because authority is not tied to buildings. Neither can you break into a bank, burn records of debts, and have your debts wiped clean. But that doesn't mean that you can't organize a mob to attack a courthouse in Portland or harass a judge; while this isn't going to overturn any verdicts, it will cause real damage to people and property.
