I go on my neighborhood "COP Walks" and generally love The Wire. That being said, this cop seems a little aggro. Kind of like the Baltimore Police Officer who yelled at my husband and I after our car was run into while parked outside of Trinacria's.
A driver went into a diabetic shock on Mulberry St. and used our car to stop against. When we came out with bags of groceries in our hands to see police and tow trucks surrounding our legally parked car, we were a little confused and weren't expecting to get yelled at for looking for the wheel cover. The officer got in my husband's face and yelled that we didn't have a wheel cover in the first place and "he sat there and watched the whole thing happen." (We did have a wheel cover!) It was a very "Welcome to Bawlmer" experience.
We had just watched the first three seasons of The Wire and were pretty emotionally invested in the Baltimore PD at the time. It kind of broke our hearts a little.
