Philly Experience #2

After getting the perspective from a younger generation about the G-Code, we turned to a undercover Philadelphia Police Officer that took us on a tour of the hard streets of Kensington, PA during the prime hours of prostitution and drug dealing.

He allowed us to take a ride in his vehicle with him as he spoke about the importance of people sharing any and all information with authorities pertaining to crimes.

The officer has been a cop for over 20 years and has dealt with issues of people not talking frequently ultimately leading up to crimes not getting solved.  It doesn't just affect those involved in the case but the community as a whole because the offender or suspects get to roam the streets freely because citizens are afraid and typically living in fear.  

David and Chopz both agreed that snitching comes with dire consequences, but when it has something to do with you directly sometimes you're left with no choice but to speak up or hold inside of you a secret that may slowly burn within you forever.

The undercover officer spoke about personal experiences he himself had to endure and said that the police always needs the publics help in order to put a serious dent in the amount of crime that occurs in and around the City of Philadelphia.
