Suiter was a homocide detective he basically staged the scene. He shot himself in the back of the head to make it look like murder and not a suicide. His whole agenda was to die in the line of duty and make it look believable and get his family his pension and benefits. He was guaranteed to be fired and did not want to testify at the grand jury the next day. Gondo testified he took money . It worked out because his family got a 400k settlement and benefits.

I watched the Slow Hustle (the Sean Suiter doc).
Pretty clear that Sonja Sohn (she directed thr doc) thinks Suiter was murdered, but the doc never addressed the heap of evidence the Feds already had on the GTTF thru wiretaps and the proffer sessions. I don't really think Suiter had any info that would've gotten any of the dirty cops substantially more time. It's not like he knew about a murder, just more theft and more corruption.
I'm inclined to believe Suiter committed suicide, but I'd only believe he was murdered if it was orchestrated by Rayam or Gondo. The theory that makes the most sense is that Suiter committed suicide to help his family get the benefit package.
BTW, another thing I learned is that dirty cops aside the Baltimore PD is an incredibly unserious police department.

After watching this show the Slow Hustle doc was extremely biased. Him getting killed benefits nobody but his family. Those dirty cops don’t have pull to order hits from prison. The hit man that nobody ever saw, heard and disappeared in seconds while leaving zero evidence just doesn’t make any sense logically.
I watched the The Slow Hustle back in November, and knew the case from following the Gun Trace Task Force story back in 2017. I read all the articles and indictments back then. The documentary makes a good pitch, but probably a fundamentally flawed one, shining a light on a single killing, usually ends up with many unknown elements and conjecture, similar to something like The Staircase. Especially one involving a police officer.
Who benefits from his death? The cops were already indicted, and Suiter knew nothing that could indict more officers. No one knew where they were going that day, someone would have to lure them to the scene, shoot him, and disappear. They were just driving around. And if he really was acting like the way he was in We Own This City, riding by his old area, he probably killed himself. That's a lot of long leaps in logic, to get to a fairly unlikely place anyway, that a cop ordered the killing. But, given the BPD reputation and the events around it, of course no one will believe that.

Forgot to add how they completely left out how dumb Jenkins and the Task Force was with that damn safe. The reason they got caught was because the house had cameras in case it was broken into, so it filmed Jenkins and crew doing EVERYTHING.

BMore seems as corrupt as NYC in the 70s/80s
IIRC, in that White Boy Rick doc on Netflix, the Detroit Police Chief at the time paid a hitman to kill Rick. He was gonna snipe him as soon as he left the courthouse, but Rick and his team took the basement out

Not understanding the criticisms of Jamie Hector’s performance. Dude was quiet, humble and reserved - the exact opposite of Jenkins. That juxtaposition was obvious, and Jamie played his part perfectly.
