RIALTO (CBSLA.com) — Two people were arrested after a fight erupted between shoppers in line outside of a Walmart Thursday.

Barricades were set up outside the store to help manage crowds that reportedly numbered in the thousands. The disruption took place around 6:45 p.m., as shoppers waited in line for holiday sales.

“There were some tensions that flared up in reference to people cutting in lines,” said Sergeant Nicholas Borchard of the Rialto Police Department.

According to Sgt. Borchard, a fight broke out between three individuals. A police officer who attempted to intervene suffered minor injuries.

Two people were arrested on suspicion of assault.

Police were posted outside of the retail giant throughout the day Thursday, and officers will stay through Black Friday as a precaution.

According to City Data, Rialto is 68% Hispanic... not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Really? A minor scuffle outside of a store somewhere in America?

I have to believe that must happen every day, especially in front of the 7/11s and quick stops and liquor stores and in Target parking lots and at Safeways, for one thing I have seen many of them in front of small markets and quick stops.

I really wonder about how the media focuses on the store the left hates so much.

Maybe there should be a Hispanic Friday just for them.

Fair is fair.

Black Friday has more than one connotation.

A recent TV commercial (for Ford, maybe) showed a sign in the background proclaiming “Viernes negro.”
