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

Yeah I was going to bring up the "snitches get stitches" mantra used to make fellow African Americans accustomed to and accepting of exposure to violent sociopathic criminality, and it's subsequent effects of perpetuating victimhood contained within their own ranks but I didn't get around to it yet.
It's almost as if they've literally attempted to reify "honor amongst thieves" when anyone of sound mind knows that's simply not conducive to a harmonius reality.
