While gardening, a woman finds a suspicious bag buried in her yard. She takes the bag to the police, who tell her "The gang isn't going to like this". When she was threatened – with extortion, with rape, with death – the most they could do was stand guard while she packed her belongings and moved out of her house.
Two reactions:
1. What IS community policing? What good is it if the police can't protect people from intimidation?
2. Oooohhh. The No Snitch code is not about supporting the bad guys; it's about survival. One can live in silent fear or be killed for angering the wrong people. Most people, when given the option, choose life.
