td221,
I know what you are saying, it seems that the media is gearing up for this to be the next big story. After I saw it here, I saw it on Yahoo and somewhere else too. I thought to myself, here they go trying to scapegoat rap for something else.
This "stop snitchin" mentality is not the only reason that cops aren't solving these murders and other crimes. I am sure that there are a lot of other factors at play--what they are, I couldn't say. But it seems as silly to attempt to blame their inability to solve these crimes entirely on this cultural phenomenon. They still go after the mafia, they still get white-collar criminals, maybe they just need to change their tactics.
Also, the stop snitchin mentality is still sublimely stupid.
