Not to mention the "snitches get stitches" rule is responsible for so much death and violence on its own. It's understandable why black culture has a mistrust of police, but this results in issues being handled via "street justice" not legal justice
So, someone assaults or kills a gang member. Their friends know exactly who did it, but rather than go to the police with that info, they will choose to employ street justice, and retaliate in kind violently. This results in another retaliation, and round and round they go, violently taking retribution for violence, rather than going to the authorities. This creates so much additional violence
