The Sean Suiter storyline was a gut punch. Glad I didn’t google anything about him beforehand and get spoiled. This was a fantastic show and it really showed how fricked up our institutions can be. If you know David Simon on Twitter you know this could have been 100x more political but it being based on the reporting of a solid journalist kept him from that- which is why the only real political expounding you got was from the stuff that happened outside the gun trace task force.

Kind of hilarious that the Civil Rights Lawyer’s answer was to throw her hands up and go frick it! It’s all fricked! Which gets us back to Jenkins and most of the police department’s view. frick it, why not. Anyway they’re both wrong and they both suck.

I wished they’d have shown real pictures of all of the police in gttf at the end. That was a bit underwhelming.

it really showed with the justice lady being made up. I get that they wanted someone in there to be idealistic at the start and have their will broken by the end but the actress sucked and the role was a poorly written stereotype of a liberal do-gooder

Everything else from the show is taken from reality, some dialog straight from court records and recordings.
