An absolutely surreal scene at the #ElijahMcClain protest in Aurora. Police in riot gear pushed everyone out of the park using batons and pepper spray. Then a violinist started playing and stopped the police from pushing people any further #9News pic.twitter.com/zWNeZcTSvS

The sound of violins drowned out the sounds of pepper spray and screams at the #ElijahMcClain protest in Aurora last night. It was a surreal scene.
