As I told you about earlier, the reluctance to assist police in urban ghettos has led to a clearance rate in the single digits for murder in some cities. Geoffrey Canada observes,
You don't need someone destroying you when your own people are the worst messengers possibly. And this is what black people in America have not come to grips with. If we had a bunch a people in robes saying this stuff, there would be a movement all over America to shut this thing down. That it's young black millionaires, we are doing nothing.

What will it take to turn this credo around?

Police doing a better job and providing a service that the urban ghetto community and/or rappers respect.
Also by taking power and influence away from drug dealers which is given to them by the unnecessary war on drugs.
