If you were a witness to a murder would you talk to the police?

I saw 2 rival gangs fight and stab someone. I also saw which way the suspects ran. I am afraid to talk to the police because i'm afraid those guys will come after me. They saw me looking and they know where i live (it happened near my house). I'm scared. What should I do?

A bad situation.
It gets worse if you do not do any thing.

It gets worse for you if you do say something.


ja man
Turn them in if they think you were a witness to their crime they will kill you

That is what causes and promotes gangs and their law breaking activities.

Bad things happen when good people stand by and do nothing.

Do you care that someone was killed? Do you think that it's perfectly OK for someone to take anothers life?

Sometimes you get the neighborhood you deserve. If the people who lived in those neighborhoods would start turning the thugs in, the violence would stop.

You, or someone you know could be the next victim whether you're a gang member or not. Don't let this garbage attempt to run the street. Contact the Police. They will keep your information confidential.

Police solve many crimes via anonymous detailed tips!

Give your information.............. you do not have to give your name.

You need to put these gangs away !!! If you dont then next time someone could die or be hurt stand up for yourself go down their and say what you saw and tell them your scared be true to yourself

Never let fear control your actions.

You know what you should do - do it.

How would you feel if someone you loved was murdered and no witness was willing to speak up?

you know the best thing to do no matter what the consequence my be let me tell you what i will do. i will tell the police because its the best thing to do because once he run off then that murder will be on your concention because you held that certain information in and also that certain person that got away can easily go a commit another crime so i will tell the police and then pray to God to keep me safe and watch over me and then trust and believe that he got you covered thats realy what you needed to do remember dont let fear take over your heart do whats best!!! Good Luck make the right decision!!!!

you should call the police and tell them what you know if you are in danger there are programs available to keep witnesses safe, above all if you witnessed the crime some one should speak to let justice be done for the victim is dead he can't speak for himself now can he?

Make an anomonous phone call.

Report it. It happening near your house is exactly why you need to talk to the Police. I wouldn't want murdering gang members in my neighborhood and you shouldn't either. Go to the Police Station and tell them, don't call them to the house. Tell them you are worried about reprisals.


HeadLiner
tell the police, either call anonomously or just drop into the station.

dont let this run your life, those criminals cannot get away.

you have a serious problem . either way you go you have problems.

maybe call anonymously from a pay phone / hard to find one / you really don't need cameras from stores or traffic camera from lights nearby. don't use a calling card / bring a lot of coins.

Might be safer to email the police station ? they must have a website that has the email address .
i would probably email from a cyber cafe not in your neighborhood and give the police the information. set up a new email there .... a free anonymous server email account. pay cash for your computer time at the cyber cafe. don't give cyber cafe your real name. don't go back to that cafe.

i would do it soon ... i was watching a television documentary that said most murder crimes are best solved in first 48 hours. helps police with evidence and investigation etc.

i believe i'd email it ... make sure you have a good valid email address for a police office you are sending it to. and don't send it from your home computer or freinds house. hotel business center or cyber cafe ... a busy place .
