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.
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.

Would recommend The Slow Hustle on HBO Max, which is a documentary about Sean Suiter.
By the way, for both dirty cops and lower level drug dealers I can see how it can get complicated, how the ends justify the means. Some feel compelled to do the wrong things for the right reasons.
The real assholes are at the top of the food chain.
