No Whammies!!
Honestly Jenkins is the worst kinda of sociopath where he is somewhat likable. When he took charge and went down and helped his fellow cops during the riots, got the injured out, and then fed everyone out of his own pockets (most likely with all the stolen cash but still). Every time he was on screen I was like damn I probably would be with the shyts too if I was in his unit. He made it seem like it wasn’t really a crime. Great show overall. I think the added on appeal is like what y’all been saying: seeing Wire/Corner/HBO tv alumni in basically inverse roles but they still kinda have some of the same traits. Poot still a grunt, Marlo is still sort of commanding but more friendly, dookie still a kind smart and lovable kid but now with a job and no lice. It’s a great show….

I love the part where he's like "Those animals were looting the Rite Aid! ....
Can you help me sell these pills I grabbed?"

It's like he didn't even make the connection that HE just looted the Rite Aid himself!

"There are way more Wayne Jenkins"

I like that line because unlike other shows they don't try to isolate the incident to a specific team of "bad apples".....these scumbags been knowing the get down before they got with Wayne Jenkins. Dude said he was scared of the "amount" and not that they were taking money. 70k base + 62k in overtime in Baltimore. They were robbing everybody.

Them planting evidence got me heated......they really out here destroying lives of innoncent folk.

they don't make the connection because instilled in them is the belief that they're "better" while committing all sorts of travesties, and when the system never holds them accountable, it just emboldens that thought process even more.

The only thing I don't like about this is Bernthal portrayal is giving the real guy charisma.

When in the fact, the real guy was probably a full fukken monster.


ETA: You guys talking about overtime, yeah that is why there needs to be police reform but that will never ever happen because :MJplease:

love how the cops on here are casually driving while drinking beers in plain view. they truly give zero fukks out there.

that's shyt don't fly these days. a couple years ago, the CPD commissioner was caught, sleep in his unmarked squad car after a night of drinking, and when that shyt got leaked to the pressed, he was forced into retirement (like 1 month early) and demoted by the mayor on the way out similar to bunny colvin on the wire.
