Police Bitch Slap Local Thugs w/Hip-Hop



If you watch ESPN you may have heard of the "Stop Snitching Video". Basically this is a video in which several stupid criminals are basically running down how they will kill dudes for snitching. They even name some dudes and the strips where they're at. The video became famous nationally because Carmello Anthony was in one of the clips talking about how he would put money on a dude's head. Now, I had a problem with Carmello because I understand coming back to the hood. However, once you are a national figure who makes millions; certain things you just shouldn't do. My bigger problem, that I tried to convey to my clients was: CRIMINALS DON'T MAKE VIDEOS! As someone over 25 who has committed a crime or two in his lifetime and watched several gangster/underworld types of films, I know you don't create evidence. Everything I know about this video smells of evidence. Dudes pulling out guns, talking about who they plan to get. Dudes flashing wads and letting people know that you're not doing it if you have no foreign money. From what I have seen and heard of the video the image that instantly comes to mind is a prosecutor saying, "Your honor we can clearly see the defendant brandishing his firearm and nameing the deceased as his intended target." As a matter of fact if I've learned anything from movies there is only one time when you create evidence: when you plan to frame someone. I have a lot of problems with local "thugs" (criminals are smarter), but this is equal to making sure you leave finger prints on all of the weapons you fire and never leaving the house without 50 vials in your pocket. To date a majority of the people in this video have been arrested, including the camera man! The true slap in the face is this: The police made their own video called "Keep Talking". This video encourages local community members and snitches alike to turn in their local hoodlums and "keep talking". The biggest slap in the face is the fact that the backround music in the cop's video is "Shook Ones" by Mobb Deep. Imagine as that after a cop says, "Keep talking, we need your help to put these criminals away", Prodigy's voice rises in the backround - "They shook - ain't no such things as half-way crooks scared to death and scared to look." My local thugs have done something so stupid it allows the cops to actually bitch them and come off hard! What the hell! Get it together thugs! I don't agree with your methods and I know the majority of you are stupid, being that we've seen the same movies and you didn't learn from them. I cannot believe though, that you have allowed the cops to come off as hard. They are even giving out not cards to suspects telling them to go to a social service agency and get help or they will be going down. When the cops look cool...damn those stupid thugs.
