The Smoking Gun Claimed Cam'ron Snitched

The Smoking Gun claims that Cam'ron snitched because he talked to police:

Giles--who is listed as "compl," or complainant--got into a "verbal dispute" with about 15 black males "while at basketball game" in August 1999. After the perps knocked him to the ground, Giles was kicked in the head and groin. Giles was debriefed by police at Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated and released.

Yeah, I see it now.  "Officer, there were 15 but I took them all on before slipping and falling on some trash.  Did I mention they were all young, black males?  That's right, officer, a whole pack of young, black males wildin' out.  You know how they do."

Snitchin' or tellin' tales?  You be the judge!

60 Minutes Investigates the Stop Snitchin' Movement, Interviews Cam'ron

60 Minutes - Stop Snitchin' Pt. 1

Pt. 1 looks at the sad case of Israel Ramirez and Busta Rhymes, the scar on Killa Cam's arm and the fact that snitching is bad for a rap star's business.

60 Minutes - Stop Snitchin' Pt. 2

Bottom line for Cam'ron, any form of communication with cops equals snitching and that's a self-serving philosophy that does nothing to address the criminal activities of the cops or the needs of the community. As Rizoh put it, a "spineless...campaign".
