Why was Mcnulty so obsessed with Stringer Bell?

[KevCo]

maybe the Greeks was too high level, but Mcnulty was fixated on Stringer like he was fukking his ex wife or something. At least the obsession Valchek had with Frank Sabotka was personal.

It seem like Mcnulty lowkey ain't like the fact that a black man could be organized and moving up beyond street shyt. Like he said to Marlo "government ain't want you to be organized. They want y'all killing each other on the corners over some bullshyt".

Avon was the number one but dude was stuck on Stringer.

Uhhhhh.....hes a cop. If he was able to bring down the biggest criminal, thats cause for a promotion. Avon was in jail so he had to try to take down his number 2. Thats how i always saw it.

was obsessed with String because of how clean the Barksdale Organization was -- it took some doing and it fed his ego & need to be #1 to be able to get them off the streets. Also, when he was investigating String, he knew he was a cut above anyone else in the streets. Saw this nikka at the farmer's market buyin fruit and taking college courses. Once he started to go official with the paper print, man's pride was shook. Really wanted to stop him before he became white-collar

Didn't have that energy for the Greeks because in Season 2 he was riding a fukkin boat for already pissing off the powers that be, also, the level of Organization the Greeks had was worlds beyond the Barksdales. Once word was up, they were in the wind

Word, and his reaction when they find his apartment after he was killed shows it all.

I had to model my crib after that.

I think McNulty wanted Stringer down because McNulty felt Stringer was always a step ahead of him. The link from the Barksdale organization and Stringer that McNulty flipped was Wallace but Stringer figured out something was funny about Wallace and had him killed. That's why he was left alone while Avon was arrested. They caught Avon speaking on cam in his office but could never catch Stringer on "the wire "

Then D'Angelo was close to flipping , he then quiets up and then again, D'Angelo ends up dead. That's why it was such a victory for McNulty when they finally caught Stringer on the phone talking drugs even for a split second.

Uhhhhh.....hes a cop.

He was a homicide detective and wanted the Barksdale crew because they were dropping the most bodies. The Greeks didn't get on his radar until the girls died in the can and he pursued them vigorously when he found out about that to.

They explained it in season 5

Bell was a man between two worlds
