I also told Global News that in Canada you are protected by the Supreme Court of Canada when using 1-800-222-TIPS. Crime Stoppers is completely anonymous and you can also send a tip thru Facebook. Below are the pages you can send tips thru. Lets take Trapz's KILLER(s) off the streets.Police aren’t catching much of a break with this case as friends of the slain rapper aren’t revealing many details to investigators.
“The individuals that we are interviewing … are being far less than truthful with regards to the narrative of what happened,” Det-Sgt. Gary Giroux said at a press conference on Sunday.
“If everybody came back to us and told us exactly what they have heard or know with their own senses, I think we could resolve this case very quickly,” he added.
One prominent community advocate and hip hop blogger says that “snitching” or to be an informer is “a street code” promoted to young people.
“It’s not so much a fear of retribution but a fear of their reputation,” says HipHossip.com blogger-founder Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo. “Even the rapper himself, rapped it in his music,” referring to the song “Gunz, Money, Drugz,” one of his music videos on YouTube with over 8,000 clicks.
“The reason is because of street credibility. The mix tapes sell on the street,” she says, adding that although a record deal might not be signed, it is through the streets that young artists gain notoriety.
Omololu-Olunloyo, who volunteers with Toronto police, helped organize a rally with Toronto-area hip hop artists in November 2010, denouncing gun crimes in the city. An outspoken critic of gun crimes, she said she has testified in a quadruple shooting case in the U.S. and credits the American justice system in helping solve some but not all gun crimes.
“It’s time that Canadians start to do the right thing and what’s morally right to help police with their investigation,” she says.
“They can use CrimeStoppers IF they’re declining to be interviewed. That’s the difference between Canada and America. In America, you have to talk.” READ THE REST HERE.
Here's the real sad part of all this story. Spencer whom I DID NOT know personally rapped about blunts, robberies, home invasions, jewelry, guns and his young daughter and I also heard this rapped in one of his videos 2:35-2:38 "I leave you dead you don't snitch nigga." The aspect of free speech must always exist in music but when do we draw the line in 2012. Times are changing. Music networks are avoiding any form of gangsta rap. Truly sad that his so called friends had to dump him in a hospital and leave. Police had to appeal for them to come forward!!Anthony Spencer Photos: Courtesy of Facebook
