Chuck D agrees with BRY: Snitch!

A few months ago, I wrote about how much I dislike the whole "stop snitching" campaign which is becoming increasingly prominent. The idea is that witnesses and victims of crimes should not cooperate with police, because apparently, felons should have the right to commit their crimes without interference from police or affected members of the community.

An article on the Reuters wire discusses how this attitude (and the deadly retributions that it encourages against "snitches") is hindering the prosecution of violent crime.

They talked to Chuck D, of Public Enemy, one of the more socially conscious musicians of any genre. He said, "I support snitches. If a person is cancerous to society, then a snitch is sometimes the best solution, with an army behind him."

Way to call it, Chuck D. People who are perpetrating violent crime are a cancer to society, and should be dealt with. Hopefully, more people will start to see it this way.
