NEW YORK â Shameek Harrison was old school to the end, refusing to snitch after he was stabbed in Brooklyn, only to be knifed to death six months later by the very same attacker, according to authorities.
Harrisonâs 24-year-old cousin said it would have made perfect sense for him to have helped put his nemesis behind bars.
âThatâs logical,â she said. âBut we live in the âhood. So Iâm sure you know about snitching.
âWhere we live at, cops arenât really nice to us here, so weâre not really nice to them.â
Police have been dealing for years with the no-snitch edict that rules in many city neighborhoods. Victims routinely tell cops to get lost, or worse, because they hate the authorities, prefer payback over prosecution or both.
