Snitching is another word for doing the right thing. When Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were captured, someone contacted the U.S. military, and those terrorists were dealt with. The people who told the military where to find those terrorists did the right thing.
People, in the ‘hood, who are against snitching, would have you believe snitching is somehow a betrayal of the “black cause.” No, it is they who are a betrayal to the black cause.
What if your sister or mother was brutally raped or carjacked? What if someone saw what happened? If there was a witness, wouldn’t you want that witness to tell the police who hurt your loved ones?
Every day, people are robbed, stabbed, shot, murdered, raped, or carjacked. They have loved ones, just like you. Don’t you think they also would want someone to tell the police who committed a crime against their love ones?
Thugs are the only people who oppose doing the right thing, or snitching, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. But, if you want to live in a safe and secure neighborhood or city, all of us have to man-up and woman-up. Otherwise, criminals will continue to escape justice and continue committing crimes because no one wanted to snitch.
AN EXAMPLE OF A COMMUNITY DOING THE RIGHT THING
Get this. Recently, in Macomb County, in Michigan, a 14-year-old white girl was found murdered. In response, the police received over 600 tips. The people in that mostly white Detroit suburb, who provided the tips, didn’t worry about being called a snitch. A horrible crime had been committed in their community, and they wanted the person who did it to be caught. They set a standard of decency for their community, and they were not going to accept anything less.
Why can’t urban residents be just as responsive to crime as the people in Macomb County? Are Whites more willing to fight crime than you?
CRIMINALS ARE THE REAL ENEMIES; NOT THE POLICE
Snitching is just one way to contribute to a safe community. To be totally effective, the people in the community must form partnerships with the police, and we must start neighborhood patrol groups. We cannot make the police the enemy and expect to the police to be a good partner in the crime fight. That’s delusional.
As with any profession, a small number of people may behave in less than professional ways. It’s no different with the police. What the community cannot do is allow itself to be distracted from the big picture, which is to have a safe community. When crimes occur, chances are, you won’t be calling criminals for help. You’ll be calling the police. So it just makes sense to develop a good working relationship with the police.
SNITCHING HAS BEEN USEFUL TO FIGHT DISCRIMINATION
If it wasn’t for so-called snitches, many employment and housing discrimination suits could not have been verified. If it wasn’t for snitches, racist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan could not have been infiltrated and prosecuted. So-called snitches have been used to bring down corrupt politicians and drug smugglers. The people who are against snitching, mainly the corrupt and criminal, are the only ones who benefit from a no-snitch attitude.
One of the most powerful ways to deal with crime is for people to do what’s right, or snitch, if you will. They mean the same thing. When citizens work with the police and do what’s right, their communities will become safer because the criminals won’t know who’s watching them, but they know someone is watching.
For every crook, there are thousands of good people, but good people act as if the numbers were reversed. It’s well past time for good people to stand up and band together against crooks who are responsible for destroying neighborhoods.
Criminals may be low-lifes, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid. They have cleverly made it seem almost unpatriotic and uncool for people to do what’s right and report crime. It’s one of the oldest con jobs under the Sun. Only criminals benefit from a no snitching practice.
Snitching is known by many names: informant, witness, and hero. When you see something wrong going down, snitch. But when you do snitch, you don’t have to call a press conference; you can do it anonymously.
Snitches.
