Po was a snitch, but only in the face of the death penalty or a life sentence. That's bad, but so is killing somebody because you didn't like his haircut. Nothing honorable about killing for money, Wayne Perry had so much honor he even killed a girlfriend of his...
This video is a good lesson for our children

It's rare for people to not snitch without any outside motivation. Some people don't snitch to keep their families out of jail, or because they fear reprisals on their families from the other side. Very few don't snitch due to honor. DAs don't offer deals to everybody.
There is no honor amongst thieves. Thieves want outsides to think that, in order to earn trust, but they'll break their word and betray you as soon as it's convenient.
These same people will break tons of codes related to the streets, double crossing each other, killing each other, sleeping with their man's girl, and tons of other shady shit, yet the minute they get arrested, suddenly honor is involved? Yea ok
Here's another one:

Story of Preacher, mentioned from the Alpo and AZ stories
Sh0t;3030167 said:They don't offer deals to everyone. They have quotas they have to make, and they use some deals to secure long time for others. If they have you cold, they won't even bother. ADAs are usually the ones doing the leg work, Da's give them quotas and guidelines. DAs themselves are elected officials and have to appease voters. When the voting public demands tougher treatment of criminals, you see many less pleas and deals. Many DAs have lost their office due to giving high profile criminals deals, resulting in much different behavior by the next one.
Just look in the above video, Preacher tried to make a deal, they wanted no part of it. He ended up snitching for no reason.
I believe in loyalty and such, but the point I was trying to make is that these people, specifically mentioned, were not loyal ON THE STREETS, but somehow they are supposed to be held to that standard when facing time. Does not compute. Wayne Perry was not a loyal person, he killed several people close to him on mere suspicion, and was later found to be wrong in several cases(his baby's momma in particular). But people hold him up as a stand-up guy because he didn't snitch. He took pleas though, to keep some of his family out of jail, but he was going down anyway, so it's not like he had a choice.
You can find honor among pure dealers, but not among the killers, stick up men, etc. Once you accept murder as an easy way to solve problems, your standards of conduct go way down.
One other reason why some people don't tell, is they fear what life in jail will be like, as many jail gangs force you to show them your sentencing paperwork to see if you received a deal via cooperation. If you are going to be there a long time either way, and jail life will be hell with the rep of a snitch, some probably decide not to tell. If the deals were better, they probably would have.
The 'honor' and 'as a man' motivation is what i'm suspicious of.
