Perhaps the police should do investigative work and recognize that criminals normally commit crimes with few or no witnesses. Do some police work and stop unsolved cases work on an imaginary campaign.
Why don't we ever see photos of all of these "stop snitching" shirts? I have been working in neighborhoods across the country and have not seen one of those shirts for many years. What campaign are you talking about? The media campaign? That's the ONLY place you hear about a don't snitch campaign. Yes there is witness intimidation. That's because CRIMINALS are CRIMINALS and they may threaten people so they won't go to jail. This applies to criminals in the 'hood or those in the White House. Perhaps if you stop writing about the "campaign" there will be no campaign.
Find something newsworthy to talk about.
Hot Line Hurt By 'Stop Snitching' Campaign
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Crime Stoppers TIPS Hot Line coordinators say a campaign of intimidation is keeping many unsolved crimes unsolved.
"For a family member or friend, man, I'll do it. But if I don't know the person, what could I do?" asked one Kansas City resident.
LaMont Williams, whose nephew Marcus was killed by a bullet from a passing car a year ago, said, "I'm sure someone knows who did it. They may not have been at the scene, but that person who committed the murder knows someone and talked to someone about committing that type of thing."
Marcus Williams was a father of two and had no criminal record. His family recently held a vigil in his memory, asking for information from anyone who knows anything about not only Marcus' killing, but all the other unsolved homicides. Full story here
