POLICE INFORMANTS

If you do your duty and decide to help law enforcement officials put a crook behind bars and believe that the cops will protect you and keep your identity secret, do not always count on it, and guess what? When the time comes that you do need protection, the same cops who promised to protect you may possibly simply tell you to just call 911 if you feel your life is in danger from the crooks you ratted out and turned in!

Even if you get cop protection guaranteed in writing do not always count on it. The question becomes, is it really worth it to risk your life to help law enforcement? If you do die from you efforts at being a good citizen by turning the bad guys, also do not always count on the cops to show lots of sympathy for the loss of your life or even acknowledge their mistake of not providing adequate protection for you!
