Riot police confront peaceful violin vigil for Elijah McClain with pepper spray – video

Police in riot gear confronted protesters in Aurora, Colorado, who had gathered at a violin vigil for Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old known for his violin playing who died after he was put into a neck hold by police in suburban Denver last year.

Aurora police department said officers did not use teargas on demonstrators but said pepper spray was used to make sure protesters were moving back.
