Facebook arrest video leads to protests in South Carolina

Eleven people were arrested on the second day of protests, just hours after the police chief and a civil rights leader had asked for calm.

Demonstrators converged outside a South Carolina police station for a second day on Thursday, protesting the arrest of two men by officers in Rock Hill who were recorded on a Facebook video wrestling and throwing punches with the two. Eleven people were arrested on the second day of protests, just hours after the police chief and a civil rights leader had asked for calm. Most of the arrests were for disorderly conduct as protesters blocked several streets near the police station and one threw two firecrackers at officers, officials said. At one point, a line of officers in riot gear stood outside protecting police headquarters as more protesters gathered across the street, according to video from a reporter from The Herald of Rock Hill.
