Agreed however the very term "snitching" is bizarre in this context because it implies that some random guy grooming kids into gangs, selling drugs to broken homes, etc. is on on your neighborhood team and getting rid of him is some kind of betrayal.
You "snitch" when you're in a WW2 guerrilla resistance and and reveal the name of your cell leader under torture. Because they're on your team.
You aren't "snitching" when you want the cops to get rid of a criminal who is causing harm to their own people for a profit. In any real conflict that guy would be considered the real traitor and dead upon discovery.
I have mixed feelings about the Nation of Islam. I understand their modern message is about self-determination (good) but I still don't really understand rallying under the banner of an ethnoreligion whose African slavery practices were literally thousands of times the scale of any in the West.
