ROCK HILL, S.C. — Someone shot a video on Wednesday afternoon that showed two brothers getting arrested during a struggle with police officers at a Rock Hill gas station.

About 100 people took to the streets in protest blocking the intersection of Dave Lyle Blvd and Black Street for several hours. They walked to the police department and at about 11 p.m. lit a fire surrounding a tree in front of the station. A police officer and the fire department arrived after the fire was lit.

Our crews could see objects being thrown at the police officer. Police in riot gear entered the scene after that.

The video of the arrests posted on Facebook had more than 87,000 views, 2,100 reactions and 230 comments Thursday morning.

The Rock Hill Police Department Violent Crimes Unit and agents with the Department of Homeland Security were conducting a surveillance operation and saw Ricky Price, a known offender, drive a Ford Mustang on Dave Lyle Boulevard. Ricky Price made an illegal turn and unlawfully changed lanes, which led to a traffic stop at the gas station on Willowbrook Avenue, police stated in a news release.

Price was talking with his brother on a cellphone in the car at the time of the stop, police said.

A K-9 unit was called to the scene to investigate the car for narcotics, because of past encounters police have had with Ricky Price, Rock Hill police said.

Officers found a 9 mm pistol and two bags of pot in the Mustang. Police later found a Crown Royal bag containing crack cocaine where he sat, police said.

Officers started to search Ricky Price when his brother, Travis Price, got there and walked up to the scene, police said.

Travis Price tried to interfere and get

How about their acceptance/toleration of a known 1st degree murderer living
in their midst instead of cooperating with the police to get him behind bars.

They truly do create very “vibrant” communities.

The protestors aren’t local. My brother saw them unloading from 2 charter buses.

After June 19, 1865 the former slaves should have been sent back to hence they came. The black toothpaste is never going back into the tube.

I’m so fed up with these displays that it ‘Doesn’t matter’ , I really don’t care what they do or want. They’ve gone well beyond sanity and are proving over and over again that I’m right to avoid them....and I will.

If I was leader of a drug gang, and had spare cash sitting around, I would use some to pay local residents to riot whenever any of my people was arrested.

I'm glad that I didn't have any of my morning coffee in my mouth, when I read this from you:

All of these people took an unpaid day off from their full time job to show solidarity with a fallen person of color at the hands of the police. Sacrifice.

Why is it these protests are led by big-fat black women with nails like a vultures talons!

Because protesting is their sole purpose in life.

There isn't any market/need for:

Ghettopotami!, in the real world.

Another hostile anti human attack by mentally ill members of the Ghettopotami group.

Again!! There’s not an IQ above 60 among the Ghettopotami!

If they had an IQ above 60, they wouldn’t be Ghettopotami!

“After June 19, 1865 the former slaves should have been sent back to hence they came. The black toothpaste is never going back into the tube.”

Actually even before then, Lincoln wanted to ship them to a sparsely populated country in Central America, but he never followed through.

As for putting the toothpaste back in the tube, there are ways of doing that. All it takes is a bit of imagination and most importantly the will to do so.

If you start with the assumption that it can’t be done, then it won’t be done.

.....”Because protesting is their sole purpose in life”....

It doesn't take any discipline or accountability...like walking in a parade with your fist raised.
