I understand we're he is coming from. As a child living in an urban era u are taught by Ur parents to never snitch. What u don't see won't hurt you, never be friend a cop cuz that can get u killed. These white ppl are taught to speak out, so it's normal for them to react this way. They don't kno the struggle of urban life.

Lol i would move

This is when Cam career started spiraling down

Thats propaganda. Snitching to police, or all this street criminal code of ethnics relations have nothing to do with hip hop culture. Hip hop culture is a music or trend lifestyle based on the style of hip hop. Nothing to do with killing people or police.

Aaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaah haaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaa I love cam haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa aah aaaah aaaaah heee heeeeee heee his fuckn face he is a jerk

[sweets3445]

pussies follow the no snitching rule...... when someone gets killed no one wants to say anything when they know who did it but when one of their family members gets killed they want answers and want to know who did it...... its better the police get to you before my family does

[babyblu2010]

I definitely understand your point and I agree that there is reason to be mistrustful of the police (like the fact that 9/10 they are not going to snitch on a fellow officer even when they have seen him/her commit a crime); but if you dont want us going to the police- THEN DONT GIVE US A REASON TO HAVE TO GO TO THE POLICE IN THE FIRST PLACE lol instead they want u to witness your whole family killed and you kno the person who did it; but dont tell the cops b/c that goes against the code. HELL NO

[Santana2163]

I understand the mistrust in cops but the double standard that exists in the black community is ridiculous. They complain about the living conditions in the hood and want them improved upon but in the same breath tell you to "follow the code" and not snitch to a cop if they question you. If somebody breaks into my house or kills someone I care for, you damn right I would want some answers.

[babyblu2010]

ignorant/smart issue. I'm from the hood and my house has been broken into and the first thing that I did was call the damn cops. If you dont respect me enough to leave my shit alone, you think im going give a damn that you go to prison. black people need to stop being fucking coons. Its people that have been killed and there is no justice for them b/c black people are too fuckin stupid to talk, yall follow these no talent ass rappers like they give a fuck about yall or something.

[babyblu2010]

Man yall NIGGAS on here is crazy. This whole stop snitchin nonsense is retarded, you really gonna protect someone that caused you harm or planned to cause someone else harm... you love that person that much that youre just going to let them get away with what they did b/c you dont want to see them behind bars or take responsibility? LOL hell no b/c if niggas loved each other that much they wouldnt be killing each other over Jordans and shit. This is not a black/white issue, this is an

[thorpower100]

I would never put another man behind bars or go tell on another man just for the simple fact that it shouldn't belong to somebody else to take away time out of another person's life that can't be replaced. If somebody did something to me, as a man I would want to settle it myself, not go running and telling and getting somebody locked up. Fuck police

[thorpower100]

Forreal. The police don't give a fuck about nobody. They will just as quickly find a reason to lock yo ass up as the next person. Never cooperate wit the pigs. Fuck police.
