This plot pissed me off so fucking much is that really how obtuse higher ups are out there?

why didnt he just force his gang and narco squads to actually put in two minutes of effort gathering intel
herc and carver came out of downtown, they should have known better
obviously the answer is that the union would cockblock any firings for incompetence but still
bunny just juked the stats in his own way

Yes, it actually is.

The man made a fucking medieval slum of misery and human depredation, but still didn't learn his lesson.

Viewers often remark that BUNNY COLVIN is one of the heroes of The WIre

You wouldn't be saying that if you made reservations at Ruth's on a Friday night and dis muthafucka brings in a gang of niggas that sit down next to you

Why do you think people in America hate the police so much?

this plotline was a setup for the school system where they do the same thing as police, sweep the problem cases under the rug and try to juice the stats without addressing the problem.
>its a good thing right?
even bubbles couldnt justify hamsterdam.

AY YO CAPTAIN JACK

He was just mad his friend got ate by rats.

The police are supposed to follow the law. Yes corruption and so forth exists, but blatantly circumventing the law isn't going to fly with a force of people commanded to follow the law. Police brass were correct in flipping out.

>>213775246
You got the wrong character retard
>does everything wrong
>never learns from his mistakes
>keeps failing upwards
>keeps climbing the totem pole by sheer luck
>never actually gets reprimanded for the shit he fucks up
>ends the show with a high paying job cushioning up to a rich lawyer with no troubles
The whole randy and bubbles shit, really solidified how much I fucking despise this stupid fucking idiot

>>213775705
>this plotline was a setup for the school system

was creating a fake serial killer a 'bad thing'?
I have to tell you had I known such a thing was frowned upon here....

classic McNutty bantz

>>213776026
I do like that they showed the high profile lawyers as the scum they are. Very much tied to criminal profits

I hated this bitch and her stupid accent.

>>213775705
>sweep the problem cases under the rug
They were directly addressing problem cases and corrected some of them. Large scale adoption of the program would’ve just been warehousing, but there really isn’t anything wrong with warehousing extreme problem cases if they can’t be expelled. Which is a problem no child left behind introduced, students can’t be expelled. They just get moved to another school.

Psycedelics, Heroin and cocaine should be sold from dispensaries.

>>213775020
Its really the voters fault
>candidate a
>crime is complex and we cannot just use force but a multi prong approach
>candidate b
>im gonna put all criminals in prison
who do you think wins

>>213776026
It’s pretty commonly missed that the one and only reason Lester was able to bring in a case against Marlo is because his police work was buried in an unrelated case, as otherwise the wiretap would’ve been leaked by levy’s mole.

>>213776982
>no child left behind
What a disaster that was. We're still slowly undoing the damage it did.

>>213777187
>levy’s mole
I don't remember him having one, who was it?

>>213777277
a guy who worked in the courthouse with a gambling problem.

Wire theory, de-BUNKED.

cops ignore a million broken laws a day, what's one more?

>>213777789

Candidate B is actually addressing the issues of rhe voters. Sure candidate A is correct and sure most people may know it on some level but when crime is in your neighborhood you don't care how it's solved you just want it gone. Candidate A just offers platitudes. Hamsterdam probably wouldn't have solved anything in the long run. It would've became a hot bed for rape and murder and a bigger issue for the cops.

>>213777170
In defense of B that's what el Salvadors prez did and he's the single modern SA leader that can claim he beat the cartels. At least south of the border they could use more like him

>>213775064
Intel on what, you dumb fuck? You sound like you get laughed at on the shortbus for being retarded.

>>213777962
The police are allowed to ignore minor infractions at their discretion. Willfully ignoring the law and allowing a drug sales zone with tens of thousands of dollars in daily sales is much different. Blame politicians not the cops if you don't like the law.

>>213777170
>>213778286
We all know what candidate A comes with: More nebulous social spending, cops juking stats, DAs that don't prosecute and if they do, slap-on-the-wrist sentences... Pretty much exactly what most cities have dealt with for the last 10 years and are finally realizing it just results in more lawlessness. Criminals don't think like functional people and in their eyes a weak system deserves to be exploited.

>>213775516
reddit shit just like the wire

Just here to say I'd have smex with that lady who writes the crime stats on the board in the police station

>squeeze every drug dealer into a tiny area creating insane levels of competition
>surely this will decrease crime

Is there a timeline where dudes doing their Ledger Joker into their webcams became a springboard to relevance and fame?

Because I remember a fuckton of guys mimicking him around that time. I wish someone had compiled all of them. I'm sure 90% of those guys woke one morning with black dread and realized how embarrassed they should be and deleted the videos.

>>213778709
They're both great shows. I don't know why you equate Reddit with quality television. You people usually use it as some sort of insult or smear.

>It's REDDIT though!

lol, you are retarded.

>>213775576
You must be black because I don't have any issues with the police because I don't break the law

>>213775705
>plotting

Anon, schools do this in real life, all the time. I grew up in Detroit and count day was the only day they actually bothered with rounding up truant students and teachers would eliminate course work and the school would offer free pizza lunch to entice students to come to school that day.

The schools also launder the money because my principal drove a fucking Benz and I'm pretty sure his salary wasn't enough to afford one

>>213780205
that would be embezzling if illegal or just needing to offer huge sums to attract a person with experience.

>>213780205
>The schools also launder the money because my principal drove a fucking Benz
Principals and upper level education administrators have always made good salaries

>>213775576
it's interesting you conflate "police" with "higher-ups"

Very telling, anon.

>>213778286
Hamsterdam was just an extended version of "safe injection sites" which themselves are a hotbed of antisocial activity and crime.

Point is, you create a safe space for druggies to do their shit, the druggies are gonna do their shit and whoever is around is gonna have to eat the consequences.

>>213775920
on a rewatch hercs path makes the least sense. prezbo is the only cop who fucked up bigger but he had the excuse of his father in law keeping this career going. herc never facing any real comeuppance is pure divine intervention.

>>213780552
I'm sure there's something to that. The mediocre guys like that will somehow always land softly. I don't know what kind of comeuppance you want for Herc. He lost the job over that camera. Sure, ex-cops can make more money doing other kinds of work, but that doesn't mean they're happier. He clearly wanted to still be a real cop. Being a lawyer's fetch dog is comeuppance.
Unless you're dense and actually want to see some obvious struggle like "Johnny 50" becoming a bridge bum. Some complete state of destitution. But that's unrealistic for a guy like Herc.

>>213780538
You don't understand harm reduction or anything about the world of addiction. You're ignorant. Lucky for you to not have any friends or family affected by it. There are no villains. Your simplistic and likely "conservative" solutions will continue to make things worse. You probably support the "war on drugs".

>>213780538
Enabling addicts in any way is never a good idea. It only encourages them to continue their behavior and drag their neighborhood down with them

>>213780757
Doing drugs doesn't make you a victim. It makes you an asshole and when you get a group of assholes around, bad shit is gonna happen.

Safe injection sites just enable people to be druggies, it's not gonna give them an incentive to get clean, it's gonna incentivize them to do drugs because they know you got a bottle of narcan and a cellphone to call the ambulance to keep them from dying. It's literally a safety net while they slowly kill themselves with their addiction.

Go take the high horse you rode this thread on and ride yourself off a fucking cliff, humanity would be better off for it.

>>213780911
Drugs don't make assholes. You haven't lived life. You haven't had sex. You don't get an opinion.

>>213781005

Cope, nigger.

>>213780718
I'd be happy with a colicchio type ending for herc where he's fired for the microphone screw up and after he played a large role in fucking up randys life and we never see him again. instead he gets to land with levy where he manages to still fuck up an investigation despite no longer being a cop and wins one last time by playing both sides. not to mention Marlo just gives him a pass when he realizes he's a civilian when Marlo had a security guard murdered simply for how he talked to him. divine intervention.

>>213781005
Tell that to my son’s junkie mother who hasn’t had custody in over a year. Harm reduction and legalization are memes. Faggot degenerates will always find something worse to do.

>>213780552
>on a rewatch hercs path makes the least sense.
its because THE WIRE is bizarro social jew justice, David Simon's world has all the white cops as incompetent lazy bums and the niggers are the ones that are mastermind virtuous sleuths

except mcnutty is clearly the most intelligent cop in the show

>>213782948
>except mcnutty is clearly the most intelligent cop in the show
you mean the philandering, petty, spiteful, drunk fuckup? The ending is him realizing he's NOT the smartest one in the room and its all been insecure vanity

>>213782948
He's not, he and Freeman are on equal footing which is why they collaborate often and Griggs caught up fast

>>213782798
what about the corrupt patrol cop who kept fucking with bubbles? is he also a mastermind virtuous sleuth? or the detective who beat the shit out of bubbles then tried to claim bubbles started it? burrell?
