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.

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.

So now you don’t even have to kill someone for riots to start.

Simply arresting them will do.

Excessive force my foot.

Anything but letting them go would be “excessive force” to the chronically aggrieved.

I have noticed that antifa seems to be led by a lot of fat, dyke looking pigs. Fat, hoggish females seem to be a very unhappy bunch.

I read years ago black woman are the most abusive and difficult women to live with over all females worldwide. ...could explain why their kids turn out as they do and the generations never gets corrected...and why black men seek women of other races.

Day’um- I was just getting ready to prepare dinner for my family but now I’ve lost my appetite. Ugh- I do need to drop a few pounds so I may print your pic and tape it to my refrigerator.

I had a friend who needed to lose a few.....she did post a photo on her fridge of what she would look like if she continued as she was doing. But it backfired....instead she told herself “at least I don’t look that bad!”
