        Ok im late I know, The Wire

        He was a detective, in his 30s. He knew what he was doing.

        You're also leaving the big thing: he killed a guy.

        Random Wire tidbit: Prez was the only cop on the show to fire his weapon in the field.

        Eh, just because he's grown doesn't mean he was meant for the field. His explanation I see as just him being honest, whereas a "real" cop would have fabricated a story like the one Daniels makes us to cover him.

        I completely forgot about the shooting later.

        Total **** up but there's so many shifty characters on the show I was kinda surprised to hear you hate on Prezbo. I'm re watching now too, just finished S1 and he redeemed himself pretty well in the context of the season, so I think I'm seeing through rose colored lenses here. Only my second time through, I'm picking up so much more now on this rewatch now that I know the basic plot and characters.

          I had more of an issue with Carver than I did with Prez.

            Agreed. Think he just wasn't built for the street aspect of being a cop. I think that he found success as a teacher and doing the in office part of being a cop made sense.

            Plus it was nice watching him grow into being a teacher. Wasn't like Herc who literally ****ed up every step of the way and kept stumbling into better jobs.

                    Great character.

                    Great scene with him and Omar just after Butchie got killed. (unrelated to quote above)

                          I believe that quote was from the same scene where we got this gem:


                          Avon: "I look at you and I see a man without a country. Not hard enough for this right here and maybe, just maybe, not smart enough for them out there."


                          Gem.

                            Where did he even come from? I guess the ranks had thinned pretty heavily but I assume he was with Prop Joe and only got more screen time when Avon gets locked up and territory taken over.

                            Dude was ruthless, but was fair. "That's for Joe!"

                              Slim's quote came after Stinger tried to get him to kill Clay Davis.
