In some cultures there is no need for snitching because if five people sit down to talk politics three are secret police one is a criminal and one is a fool.
I had my old Buick wagon broken into and five hundred dollars damage done as some creep tried to steal the car and destroyed the steering column. The first thing the cop asked was did I catch the criminal breaking into the car. I just responded with a ‘No, Sir.” Because if I had, the call would have been for a coroner.
The police in this country have stated that they do not have an obligation to protect individuals. They only have a duty to solve crimes. When it comes to drugs, either in the inner city or suburbia, it appears they have a duty to support the druggies. Insufficient protection can lead to a degree of lawlessness that will make civilization impossible. This appears to have already happened in several sections of our country. I have concluded that it is all part of a two-tier society and economy where spending that does not serve the upper crust is simply not done. I do not want to live in a lawless anarchy but could survive if I had to. My wife wouldn’t stand a chance. She is civilized.
