The weird attempted fight with McKee was a head scratcher too...

They argued at a Waterfire and it was caught on camera. In retrospect, it was unremarkable. I think Elorza was complaining to McKee about the teacher contract negotiations and a lack of transparency.
Most people assumed he'd be running for governor then so it got a lot of traction for a day or 2. A state trooper had to hold Elorza back. It was the most interesting thing to ever take place at or involving Waterfire, but still relatively tame.

context: there was a contentious city contract. Both McKee and Elorza were contenders for governor. McKee was able to close a deal finally that Elorza said he was unhappy with and tried to stop without the authority to stop (all parties had already agreed). Elorza was on a hot mic saying something like you can't do this-- it was awkward and made national tabloids.
