Snitches get Riches

I hate the "snitches get stitches" slogan. It's redicilous and cowardly for the black community to let criminal and reckless elements in our community run unchecked and unaccountable in honor of some stupid code. We need to stand up to people who commit black on black crime and I have just the slogan to get people on board.

I am officially launching the "snitches get riches" campaign. You can get $5,000 - $25,000 from crimestoppers (510-238-6946) in Oakland for providing information that leads to the arrest of a gunman.

Instead of "stop snitching" t-shirts with the stop sign, I am designing "start snitching" shirts that have a traffic light on green.

What is most ignorant about the common community mantra of stop snitching is that the most revered 'gangstas' and street legends are snitches!
1. The American Gangsta Frank Lucas
2. The top ranking Notenos in California Prison
3. Nikki Barnes
4. 50 Cent
The list goes on...

There is just one problem with the successful implimentation of this campaign: Corrupt Cops. The only problem I have with snitching is that some cops are directly benefitting from the criminal activity through bribes and don't like it when their multiple streams of income get shut off at the spigot and they have to find a new faucet to tap. It's an inconvienience they don't take sitting down and far too often witnesses don't get the protection necessary to convict and they end up a victim as well.

The only way we can get rid of corrupt cops is through honest cops snitching on them. Therefore, internal affairs departments across the country need to offer the same deal for officers that provide infomation that lead to the arrest of crooked cops: CASH. The slogan for this auxillary campaign is "Clean cops get cash". Let's clean the precincts as well as the community and get this campaign off the ground!

Who's with me?
