THE POISE IN LEADING THAT, I
THOUGHT 16 YEARS OLD?
AND HE JUST WANTS A WORLD WHERE
HE DOESN’T HALF TO BE AFRAID
WHEN HE’S STOPPED BY A POLICE
OFFICER.
THAT’S WHAT HE’S FIGHTING FOR.
UHM, AND WE ARE WATCHING THE

LET’S BRING IN "DEFENDER" SHAWN LEY.
YOU GOT A CHANCE TO TALK WITH
STEFAN TODAY.
>> Shawn: AND WE WANT TO UPDATE
EVERYONE HOW TENSE ALSO,
KIMBERLY, THIS SITUATION WAS.
THE LOCAL 4 "DEFENDERS" ARE
LEARNING THAT POLICE WERE
DEALING WITH A CREDIBLE THREAT
AND THEY WERE ON HIGH ALERT THAT
SOME OF THE PROTESTERS WANTED TO
ATTACK THE PUBLIC SAFETY
BUILDING AND SET IT ON FIRE.
THE 16-YEAR-OLD EMERGED FROM THE
CROWD, NOT JUST TO LEAD THE
PROTESTS BUT TO CALM THINGS DOWN
BECAUSE THERE WERE EXTREME TENSIONS ON BOTH SIDES HERE.
TENSIONS ON BOTH SIDES HERE.
WE WENT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT WHY HE FELT THE NEED TO JUMP IN LIKE
HE FELT THE NEED TO JUMP IN LIKE
HE DID.
A 16-YEAR-OLD FILLED WITH
EMOTION BUT SHOWING RESTRAINT,
HELPING DEFUSE A TENSE STANDOFF
BETWEEN PROTESTERS AND DETROIT
POLICE.
LEADERSHIP FROM A TEEN IN THE
FACE OF BOILING ANGER.
AND WHEN IT ALL ENDED
PEACEFULLY, THE TEEN GOT A CALL
OF THANKS FROM DETROIT MAYOR
MIKE DUGGAN.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU’RE TERRIFIC, THANK YOU.
>> I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING.
>> Shawn: HIS NAME IS STEFAN
PEREZ FROM SOUTHWEST DETROIT.
HE REVEALED IT WAS THE FIRST
TIME HE’S EVER BEEN TO A
PROTEST.
>> SO THE FACT I CAN GO TO
MICHIGAN AND THIRD AND PUT MY
HANDS UP AND GET ON MY KNEES AND
SAY BLACK LIVES MATTER, AND THE
FACT I CAN DO THAT AND MAKE A
CHANGE, IT’S DRAMATIC, AND IT’S
A STEP.
>> Shawn: HE SAID THERE WERE
VOICES ALL AROUND HIM, SOME
URGING THE CROWD TO TURN
VIOLENT.
>> IT WAS MY VOICE.
IN MY HEAD, I HAVE TO FIX THIS
SOMEHOW.
>> Shawn: HE FIXED IT BY GETTING
ON HIS KNEES, USING HIS VOICE
AND PLEADING FOR PEOPLE TO GO
HOME.
>> DON’T COME TO THIS CITY IF
YOU’RE GOING TO START ANYTHING.
IT’S UNFAIR TO THE PEOPLE WHO
STAY HERE.
THEY GO HOME AND KICK BACK, WE
DON’T.
I WANNA DO THAT.
I’M A KID AND I WANT TO LET OUT
MY ANGER LIKE THAT.
I CAN’T NECESSARILY.
SO THE BEST WAY IS TO LET YOUR
ANGER SUBSIDE BY SEEING THE
ACTUAL PROGRESSION OF THE CITY, OF YOURSELF, OF EVERYTHING.
OF YOURSELF, OF EVERYTHING.
