Police want justice after Traverse City, Michigan man shot
Traverse City Police are continuing to investigate a shooting that killed a Traverse City Parking Services employee Saturday night.
The two suspects, a 17 and 18-year-old, are both in custody.
“This is something that we hope never happens,” said Traverse City Police Chief Matt Richmond.
It started around 10 p.m. Saturday when Traverse City Police Officers were directed to a routine call on East Eighth Street.
Dispatchers reported to them that two people were stealing from cars.
“That is something that we normally respond to. Making contact with individuals that meet descriptions of possible suspects of crimes like that. Something we do on a on the regular,” said Chief Richmond.
But then that routine call turned into something officers train for.
When the suspects were found, police said they ran away from officers and then fired at officers during the chase.

These news people are despicable I was wondering why they didn't call them "These young gentleman" after dancing around the facts all in the name of protecting the perpetrators!!! Well they won't be getting special treatment at Jackson prison, they'll just be some fresh young ones for the silver backs TO HAVE AT WILL.

As someone who grew up in Michigan, and once lived in Clare and Gladwin counties, I know there is plenty of white trash up there, but since we're no longer allowed to accurately describe perpetrators, let's have the names and faces.

The media keeps protecting criminals, when does that make the media criminals themselves.

So. A parking garage attendant murdered and 2 were busting into cars?? Sounds like they were looking for something and the attendant got in the way but they weren’t leaving until they found what they were looking for

we all know that in news stories on crime, violent crime, murder, robbery, burglary, the word "teen(s)" is code for BLACK – just grow some fkg balls and tell the truth! Two BLACK males charged for the wanton murder of a parking lot attendant….Black, black, black, black criminality is a real thing – stop pretending it isn't! Thumbs down on this video.

So, who are these killers? What are their descriptions? Where did they live? UpNorthLive you fail those you serve. Why won't you show pictures or descriptions. If we all guess, we will probably be right. So it appears by your liberal reluctance that they are either AM's or IA's. Funny, if they were white we would know everything. Shame on you.

That type of violence for a police officer is trying to protect the city and the people that have the death penalty or jail for life

Again youth thinking they can do whatever they want, and believe no consequences, just slap on wrist and that they can be a social pariah, they don't want to conform to be a decent member of society, but stand out, cry fake-victimhood and act like world revolves around them. This happens when there is no accountability, no structure and no discipline in home. Their parents should be tried for allowing this bs, and danger menaces to society, because their parents aren't keeping their kids in check, not knowing what their teens are up to and letting the kids walk all over them. The parents need to be sterilized for bringing such horrific brats into society, who are a thorn in societies side, they clearly think law doesn't apply to them and will be only repeat offenders. In Asia parents would be arrested if teens are 21 and under and they need to be here, no excuses and no exceptions, the parents allowed this behavior and playing stupid and acting like they don't know how bad their kids are… yeah NO! Castrate those teens, we don't need them abusing the system like they already are, and they would only create kids that 'apple doesn't fall far from the tree' would be just another criminal. We shouldn’t have to have our tax dollars used for them to get an attorney or to jail their as## they knew what they were doing, they got caught, at that age, the parents allowed this behavior to go unchecked, no discipline and no accountability. Jail their parents and these brats castrate and sterilize them is only way to stop them from creating more criminals down the road, menace to society and an public danger to all.
This shows woke-dei has taken over MI when these teens get away with this.
Bring back sterilization, we tax payers don't want to pay for their jail time, for their attorney, amd they like parents abuse system and will only continue to do so if they are allowed to as vermin reprocreate. And if judges fail police, we need to have vigilante justice then, because the woke-dei leftist has destroyed MI justice system, it protects rapist, domestic violence abusers, theft and robbery, it protects those who shouldn't be protected.

One of the suspects is 17 put his parent or parents in jail he had a gun. Remember the law Michigan has about parents going to jail for what their kids do when there under 17.
