Fox News
Rioters blocked an intersection and sparked a fire outside a police station in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on Wednesday night, hours after a video on social media showed police struggling with two Black men while arresting them at a gas station.
The video at one point shows an officer punching one of the suspects several times as he and another officer attempt to make an arrest while the suspect is held on the ground. The video images drew about 100 people to the Rock Hill Police Department headquarters around 6 p.m. to protest, WSOC-TV of Charlotte, North Carolina, reported. Later in the night, rioters threw objects at a police officer, the station reported. Other officers in riot gear arrived at the scene soon afterward, the report said.More Related News
