It's definitely a systemic problem where it's the us against them mentality for some and with others it's the it's safer if I don't rat them out because if it doesn't stick or even if it does revenge could be taken in the case of gang types. 

 

It's not us against them though in this case.  If more people were able to understand the problems, more people would be willing to help.  I saw a lot of support for body cameras for all cops, and I'm willing to bet that in time that will happen...but don't kill your chances by making the problem worse.

 

I understand why they don't do it, but if more people were finally willing to take a stand and do it, the problem would be solved pretty quickly.  If my next door neighbor was doing illegal stuff out of his home and I'm best friends with him, I dont care....I'm calling the cops.  The safety of my family is more important than that.
