“Let me guess. An aspiring rapper who has just turned his life around and was just peacefully protesting in Ferguson”

...who was a gentle giant and had a full scholarship in physics at Cal Tech.

Maybe, as was used on another thread, a “quintessential teenager”?

"Any raised hands?"

Funny you should mention that...I happen to live a couple dozen miles north and west from Harvey. On a trip back from a downtown location, on an exit ramp off I-57, (in Amish country BTW) I noticed a one-man protest complete with a sign and hands up sometime around 5pm CST yesterday. I was tempted to drive back and snap a pic. :)
