MAKES A BAB CRY AND THE FAMILY
COULDN’T BE MORE THANKFUL.
THE BABY’S CRIES WERE SUCH A
RELIEF TO EVERYONE BECAUSE IT
MEANT THE 3-WEEK-OLD WAS
BREATHING AGAIN.
>> Devin: HE ARRIVED ON THE
SCENE AND TRAINING TOOK OVER.
HIS DASHBOARD CAMERA CAPTURED
ALL OF IT AS THE DASH CAM WAS
ROLLING.
>> Priya: HE’S A ROOKIE COP WITH
NERVES OF STEEL AND CAN ADD
SAVING AN INFANT’S LIFE TO HIS EXPERIENCE.
>> CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN!
LET ME SEE THE BABY.
>> Priya: SHE HANDED HER MOM TO
A STERLING HEIGHTS POLICE OFFICER.
>> [INDISCERNIBLE].
>> HOLD ON, LET ME SEE THE BABY.
>> Priya: THE OFFICER STAYS CALM
AND FLIPS HER OVER ON HER STOMACH.
>> THERE YOU GO, HE’S CRYING,
HE’S CRYING.
>> Priya: IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR
THE YOUNG MOTHER WHO COLLAPSED
ON THE STREET IN TEARS.
HIS OFFICER IS A HERO.
>> TALK ABOUT A HEARTWARMING
VIDEO.
I’M SO PROUD OF MY OFFICER.
HE DID A GREAT JOB AND WE’RE
VERY, VERY PROUD OF HIM PRFRNLTS
THE FALL CALLED POLICE LAST
THURSDAY.
SHE WAS DRINKING MILK FROM HER
BOTTLE AND LOST CONSCIOUSNESS.
THE OFFICER JUMPED INTO ACTION.
>> TO ARRIVE ON THE SCENE AND
HAVE THE ENTIRE FAMILY COME
RUNNING TOWARD YOUR PATROL CAR,
I’M SURE OUR OFFICER NEW
IMMEDIATELY THIS WAS NOT GOOD.
AND HE ACTED SO CALMLY, SO
PROFESSIONALLY.
HE’S REASSURING THE FAMILY AS HE

SOMETHING! >>> SAD NEWS TO REPORT.
>>> SAD NEWS TO REPORT.
DETROIT BUSINESSMAN MATTY MOROUN
HAS PASSED AWAY, THE WRONGTIME
OWNER OF THE AMBASSADOR BRIDGE
AND ONCE OWNED THE MICHIGAN
CENTRAL STATION FROM 1995 TILL
2018.
HE WAS ALSO COLORFUL, OFTEN
CONTROVERSIAL, ONCE
RESPONSIBILITY TIME IN JAIL IN
2012 FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.
HE PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY AT HIS
HOME OF CONGESTIVE HEART
FAILURE, DEAD AT THE AGE OF 93.
>> Karen: NOW THE FIGHT AGAINST
CORONAVIRUS.
>> Devin: MICHIGAN’S REPORTED
NUMBERS ARE LOWER TODAY BUT THAT
SEEMS TO BE THE CASE ON MONDAYS,
GENERALLY SPEAKING.
384 NEW CASES, 7 MORE
MICHIGANDERS HAVE LOST THEIR
LIVES TO THE VIRUS, TOO.
>> Karen: 43 CASES HAVE BEEN
LINKED TO A HOUSE PARTY IN
SALINE OVER THE FOURTH OF JULY
WEEKEND. ANYONE AT THE PARTY HAS BEEN
ANYONE AT THE PARTY HAS BEEN
CONTACTED AND ASKED TO SELF
QUARANTINE. >> Devin: IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF
>> Devin: IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF
THE GOVERNOR’S ORDER TO WEAR
MASKS AND IT’S MANDATORY AND
BUSINESSES COULD LOSE THEIR
LICENSES IF THEY DON’T ENFORCE
THE RULE. >> Karen: THERE ARE EXEMPTIONS
>> Karen: THERE ARE EXEMPTIONS
FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN’T MEDICALLY
TOLERATE IT.
>> Devin: BUT THOSE WHO HAVE THE
LEGITIMATE REASON KNOW THEY’LL BE QUESTIONED ABOUT IT EACH TIME
BE QUESTIONED ABOUT IT EACH TIME
THEY STEP INTO A STORE.
>> Karen: WE TURN TO SHAWN LEY.
LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE ON EDGE OVER
THIS.
>> Shawn: ABSOLUTELY.
YOU GET YOUR MASKS ON AND HEAD
INTO A STORE AND YOU SEE SOMEONE
WITHOUT A MASK, IT CATCHES YOUR
EYE.
AND IF YOU HEAR THEM SAY THEY
CAN’T MEDICALLY TOLERATE THAT,
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THIS IS PAM, TRYING TO WEAR HER
MASK AND STRUGGLING WITH THIS. >> I CAN’T CATCH MY BREATH.
>> I CAN’T CATCH MY BREATH.
I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING IS
CLOSING IN ON ME.
>> Shawn: WITH MAJOR LUNG
ISSUES, SHE IS TRYING.
>> I’VE PASSED OUT IN THREE
DIFFERENT STORES, WHICH IS
LOVELY WHEN THEY CALL 911 AND
THERE’S A PARAMEDIC.
NO, NO, NO, I’M OKAY.
I JUST CAN’T BREATHE WITH A MASK
ON.
>> Shawn: BUSINESSES MUST BLOCK
ANYONE WITHOUT A MASK EXCEPT
THOSE WHO CAN’T MEDICALLY
TOLERATE IT.
SOME SHOPS DO NOT WANT TO HEAR
IT.
>> THEY SAID, YOU CAN’T BE IN
HERE WITHOUT A MASK.
DIDN’T YOU SEE THE SIGN?
YES, BUT IF YOU’RE MEDICALLY
UNABLE THEN YOU DON’T HAVE TO.
THEY SAY, IT DOESN’T MATTER, GET
OUT OF THE STORE.
WE CAN’T HAVE YOU IN THE STORE.
IT’S OUR LICENSE.
>> Shawn: IF YOU’RE DISABLED AND
CAN’T WEAR A MASK, FEDERAL AND
STATE LAW SAYS THE STORE MUST
OFFER TO ACCOMMODATE YOU.
AND THEY CAN STILL KEEP YOU OUT.
>> YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE A NOTE
FROM THE DOCTOR.
YOU NEED TO NOTIFY THE PLACE OF
PUBLIC SERVICE THAT YOU ARE A
PERSON WITH A DISABILITY AND
THAT YOU NEED AN ACCOMMODATION.
>> Shawn: LIKE CURBSIDE GROCERY
PICKUP OR OUTDOOR DINING.
IF YOU AREN’T DISABLED AND CAN’T
TOLERATE A MASK, THE BUSINESS
MIGHT WANT TO STILL OFFER YOU
OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS FOR YOU TO
STAY OUTSIDE.
>> OR THEY CAN LET THEM IN, IF
IT’S AN ISSUE THAT THEY CAN’T
MEDICALLY TOLERATE.
>> I’M NOT OFFENDED IF YOU ASK.
BUT I’M OFFENDED WHEN YOU START
YELLING AT ME IN FRONT OF OTHER
CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE TO GET
OUT LIKE I HAVE NO RIGHTS.
>> Shawn: AND PAIS TRYING TO LIMIT GOING TO DIFFERENT SHOPS.
LIMIT GOING TO DIFFERENT SHOPS.
SOMETIMES, SHE SAID IT’S
UNAVOIDABLE.
SHE GAVE US A BOIL-DOWN OF ALL
OF THIS.
NOT ALLOWING ENTRANCE IS
DIFFERENT THAN REFUSING SERVICE.
IF A PERSON GOES TO A RESTAURANT
AND CAN’T TOLERATE A MASK AND IS
NOT ABLE, THEY’RE ONLY NO
OBLIGATION TO OFFER AN
ACCOMMODATION.
THE RISK IS THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS
CAN COMPLAIN TO THE STATE SAYING
THAT PERSON IS NOT WEARING A
MASK AND COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS, SO THE BUSINESS OWNER IS TRYING
SO THE BUSINESS OWNER IS TRYING
TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
BACK TO YOU.
>> Karen: APPRECIATE THE
CLARIFICATION.
THANK YOU, SHAWN.
>> Devin: JUST ABOUT A PERFECT
SUMMER DAY IN MICHIGAN TODAY.
>> Karen: ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE
DIP IN TEMPS AND YOU CAN ENJOY
THE SUN, RIGHT, BEN?
>> Ben: ESPECIALLY AFTER THE 90-DEGREE DAYS WE HAD.
90-DEGREE DAYS WE HAD.
AND THIS IS MORE HELPFUL AND
MORE NOTICEABLE THAN IF WE WERE
COMING OFF A COUPLE 80s.
IT IS 78 OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW AND
THE LOW HUMIDITY, THAT MAKES ALL
THE DIFFERENCE, AND WE’VE GOT A
LIGHT NORTH WIND COMING ALONG
WITH IT.
OF COURSE, WITH TODAY BEING
MONDAY, LET’S LOOK AT THE NEXT
7, AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE’LL
BE SEASONABLY MILD TOMORROW.
THE HEAT RETURNS MIDWEEK.
WE HAVE ANOTHER 90-DEGREE STREAK
THAT WE’LL EMBARK ON BEFORE THE
END OF THE WEEK.
ONE THING THAT WILL BE HARD IS
NO RAIN.
A LOOK AT A DROP HERE AND THERE,
IN A FEW MINUTES.

>> Karen: VANDALISM OF A MOSQUE IN WARREN IS PROMPTING AN
IN WARREN IS PROMPTING AN
INVESTIGATION OF A HATE CRIME.
AS GRANT HERMES REPORTS, LOCAL
MUSLIM LEADERS FEAR THIS COULD
BE PART OF A CONTINUING PATTERN
OF INTIMIDATION.
>> Grant: A MAN DROVE UP AND
USED A HAMMER TO BREAK ALL FIVE
WINDOWS. THE IMAM FEELS TARGETED AND THE
THE IMAM FEELS TARGETED AND THE
STATE’S LARGEST ISLAMIC ADVOCACY
GROUP IS CALLING IT A HATE
CRIME.
THREE SECONDS OF VIDEO IS ALL
NEIGHBORS CAPTURED OF WHO BROKE
THE WINDOW AT THE NEW MOSQUE
ACROSS THE STREET IN WARREN.
A WHITE MAN PULLED UP AND
REMOVED A HAMMER AND STARTED TO
SMASH THE WINDOWS BEFORE
SPEEDING AWAY LEAVING BEHIND A
BROKEN HAMMER FOR POLICE TO
COLLECT.
>> WE FEEL SORRY FOR THEM.
BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING IN A VERY
GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> Grant: THEY’VE ONLY BEEN HERE SINCE MARCH AFTER BEING AN OLD
SINCE MARCH AFTER BEING AN OLD CHURCH OFF 10 MILE AFTER BEING
CHURCH OFF 10 MILE AFTER BEING
USED AS A RECREATION CENTER.
COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC
RELATIONS IS NOW CALLING ON
WARREN POLICE TO INVESTIGATE AS
HATE CRIME.
SO FAR, INVESTIGATORS HAVE ONLY
CLASSIFIED IT AS VANDALISM.
WARREN POLICE WERE UNAVAILABLE
TO TALK TO US THIS AFTERNOON.
BUT CAIR SAYS AN ATTACK ON A
HOUSE OF WORSHIP SHOULD RISE TO THE LEVEL OF A HATE CRIME.
THE LEVEL OF A HATE CRIME.
>> IT’S THE INTIMIDATION THAT
PEOPLE FEEL OF NOT WORSHIPPING
IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT’S BIGGER THAN JUST A FEW
HUNDRED DOLLARS OF FIXING
WINDOWS.
>> Grant: CAIR IS OFFERING A
$1,000 AWARD FOR INFORMATION
LEADING TO WHOEVER VANDALIZED
THIS MOSQUE.
GRANT HERMES, LOCAL 4.
>> Karen: SUMMER SCHOOL IS
OFFERING A LOT OF LESSONS ABOUT
WHAT EDUCATION MIGHT LOOK LIKE
THIS FALL.
>> Devin: A LOT OF FOCUS IS ON
KIDS BEING KIDS.
BUT AS PAULA TUTMAN SHOWS US, SO
FAR, SCHOOLS ARE FINDING THE
REAL WILD CARD IS OFTEN PARENTS.
>> Paula: SO WE THINK ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT CALLED SUMMER SCHOOL,
EXPERIMENT CALLED SUMMER SCHOOL,
IT GIVES US INFORMATION ON WHAT
IN-PERSON MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN THE
FALL.
ONE THING THAT IS HAS COME UP,
HOWEVER, IS THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE PARENTAL RESPONSE.
THE PLAN IS FOR NOVI SCHOOLS TO
HAVE IN-PERSON LEARNING THIS
FALL USING THE CURRENT SUMMER
SCHOOL MODEL AS A DRESS
REHEARSAL. ONE THING THAT IS CLEAR IS WHILE
ONE THING THAT IS CLEAR IS WHILE
STUDENTS THUS FAR ARE AMENABLE
TO THE CHANGES WILL KEEP THEM
SAFE, A BIGGER PROBLEM COULD
THROW A KINK IN THE STATE’S
PROTOCOLS.
AND THAT’S SOME PARENTS.
>> I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM A
PARENT THAT SAID I’M GONNA
CONTACT MY LAWYER AND SEE WHAT LEGAL OPTIONS I HAVE TO PREVENT
LEGAL OPTIONS I HAVE TO PREVENT
YOU FROM FORCING MY KID TO WEAR
A MASK.
THIS PARENT SAID THE SCIENCE IS
NOT GOOD ON MASK WEARING.
>> Paula: MASKS ARE MANDATORY TO ENTER THE BUILDING, PERIOD!
ENTER THE BUILDING, PERIOD!
>> I THINK THE SCIENCE IS PRETTY
GOOD, AND SO IT CONCERNS ME THAT
THERE ARE MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITY THAT ARE SO ADAMANT
THAT A SIMPLE PRECAUTION LIKE A
MASK, LIKE I HAVE, IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT THEY WANNA WEAR.
>> Paula: AND STUDENTS WHO TAKE
THIS VIRUS SERIOUSLY ARE ALARMED.
>> IT’S OVERPOLITICIZED AND
COSTING US BIG TIME BY PEOPLE
NOT WEARING MASKS AND DOING
SOCIAL DISTANCING, IT’S AFFECTING ME.
AFFECTING ME.
IT STILL SUCKS WHEN YOU MISS OUT
ON LIFE MILE STOENS AND
EXPERIENCES.
>> Paula: AND SOME PARENTS
THEMSELVES ARE THE GAPING HOLE
IN THE CHAIN-LINK FENCE OF
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
>> THEY’RE ENGAGING IN ACTIVITY
THAT IS ARE PROBLEMATIC AND THAT STUDENT WILL COME TO OUR SCHOOL
STUDENT WILL COME TO OUR SCHOOL
AND POTENTIALLY BE AROUND OTHER
STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN SAFE BUT
NOW THIS ONE STUDENT COULD BE A
SPREADER OF THE VIRUS.
WE’RE TRYING TO WALK A TIGHTROPE
BETWEEN ENSURING THAT WE DON’T
SPREAD THE VIRUS BUT ALSO
ENSURING THAT STUDENTS ARE IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN
THRIVE.
IF I HAVE ONE MESSAGE TO PARENTS, I WOULD SAY: START
PARENTS, I WOULD SAY: START
HAVING YOUR KIDS WEAR A MASK AT
HOME SO THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE
WEARING MASKS.
ENGAGE IN THE SCIENCE AND TAKE
AS MANY PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
AS YOU CAN TO MAKE SURE WHEN
YOUR CHILDREN COME TO OUR SCHOOLS IN THE FALL, THAT YOU’VE
SCHOOLS IN THE FALL, THAT YOU’VE
DONE EVERYTHING TO MAKE THEM
SAFE.
