The Wire Scene Analysis: The Baltimore Police Department

A group of disgruntled Americans have created a nonviolent organization called Cop Watchers in order to document and monitor police activity in certain communities.

He says that "most of the things I just showed you are routine things." In real life it happens in the blink of an eye, "there's no ominous music to clue a police into what's about to happen." This works. I think this is one of the best lines that really make people see just why police officers might feel the way they do.

After the unrest of Freddy Gray’s death in April of 2015 and the aftermath of the Baltimore City riots, the inner-city communities are in the process of regrouping, repairing, and reorganizing its neighborhoods.

During the dilemma, those residents who destroyed their communities never contemplated at the time what they were doing to their neighborhoods. Several pharmacies and corner stores were impaired.
