McNulty was actually happy as a regular patrolman.
The big cases were like a drug to him; this is him sober for once.
Happy and Sober are two different worlds. This is "Sober" McNulty. When McNulty is doing actual detective work, everything that makes him the great detective he is in his mind, makes him a horrible person. He's got tunnel vision. He only cares about the target and the end result with little regard on how its accomplished. He'll stay just on the right side of the law to get it accomplished, but he doesn't care who's toes he has to step on, or who he has to stab in the back to do it. In order to deal with the stress of being a "good police", he allows his vices to take full control of him. Womanizing and drinking.
"Sober" McNulty realizes that he's an asshole and that there are people in his life that legitimately care about his well being and like him as a person. So he takes the time to foster those relationships, and does what is necessary to maintain those relationships IE being loyal and faithful, sociable, not drinking in excess, being a good father, etc... Unfortunately for McNulty, he cannot exist in both worlds. There is no "medium" for him. It's all or nothing for him in both regards.
@@takewithfood well said
He could make a difference, it's remarkable how rewarding just that can be.
He was in his element: doing actual police work, without anyone to stop him.
The opening shot...on the left you see the older teachers....they are disillusioned by the system....hence they are disinterested. They can't wait to get out.. checking their watches and passing messages....but on the right are the new fresh teachers who haven't yet learnt the reality of the system. They sit erect facing forward listening in rapt attention.
God damn. The details.
Jesus christ. Great observation, it always astounded me just how much detail was packed into this show.
Even from passing the note, the old teacher trying to push her culture onto the new bright-eyed folk.
I can't get over how genius this show was.
FoodLiquorCool handcuffs should be the soundtrack for this show
Know what I can't get over? That wall.
Get over it
"I hear some Al-Qaeda rolled up planning to blow up the chicken joint, but Apex's crew jacked them up, took their camels and robes and burried their ass in Lincoln park"
That's too fucking good.
Nah, Marlo's crew took them to the vacants.
Leakin Park
Where West Baltimore brings out its dead.
“We pretend to teach them and they pretend to learn”
Turtles all the way down.
Man, Bunk looking at Jimmy when he gets invited to dinner.
I.A.L.A.C.. I Am Lovable And Capable... This sounds so stupid that it HAS to be real.
DO YOU KNOW THE LOCATION OF YOUR SOFT TARGETS?!
slitor That one is definitely real. Most security awareness manuals(Not real Intelligence or Investigation) are mostly common sense.
It is. Old too. I had a teacher that had it on their wall in school in the 90's and the poster had to be from the 80's at least lol
It’s called Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) and it’s about as useful as what you saw most of it is a waste of time and any teacher already knows it but they have PBIS teams that come to “observe” (like teachers don’t have enough to do)...I think McNulty has the right idea, back to school for the kids 🤣
I used to be a T.A. in the UK and a lot of the staff meetings are like that.
I love how Bunk looks at McNulty all concerned at the end :D
Wait…. Did McNulty just remove the briefing pages to give the binder to his kids? 🤣🤣🤣
I was laughing so hard to man said back to school night 😂😂😂
He also gave his kids a walkman that Bubbles shoplifted.
Bro! 😳😲😆😂 That was golden
McNulty is an asshole, but dude's almost as much natural good-police as he is natural-born, top-tier dad.
Resources are resources 🤷🏻♂️at least get it on the company’s dime.
For those wondering, these meetings/briefings haven't changed the teaching training meeting I was in in 2019 was the most boring awful shit that was useless in the school I was in. My kids didn't need that crap they needed social help not academic.
This was mcnulty post freeman life (this job wont save u speech) he was becoming a good man
Until he wasn't a good man no more...
Its crazy because I literally watched that clip before i watched this one and I run into this comment!! Lol
i remember bunk asking kids where they got binders, so macnulty just threw away the papers and gave the binders to beadies kids.the look on bunks face, lo
its because macnulty was good police . he wasnt the imma bust ya ass for nothing police. look at how he dealt with people.
1:09 is underrated as heck. The only class with a pencil sharpener in my HS was hanging on by two screws and was almost a team effort to use it.
1:21 - That _"Thank Youu!"_ was such black woman magic!😂😂😂😂😂
"Dinner?!".....lol, man I love the Bunk.
The thought of dinner with McNulty the family man scared The Bunk more than any case ever could.
Dinner for mcnulty usually means: Jameson and Random Tail.
@@JScarper hahaha!
naw, Bunk was just fishing for a couple minutes of bro
'Dinner' is high maintenance
‘Dinner’ 👀
When the brass creates useless workshops to discuss largely irrelevant problems with an irritated work force.
It happens everywhere.
These scenes reminded me of working in a factory, where we would be pulled away from production for 20 minutes to listen to stupid PowerPoints on efficiency and safety compiled by people who have probably never set foot on the factory floor and couldn't tell one machine from another.
Sounds like my job
I work out the streets yet company preach safety but don't want to pay or provide the right equipment.
@@VTX00128 it tough for drug kingpins to provide the proper safety and equipment for their workers
@@tyrion9999 when I said that i work for a natural gas company (non-union) They call us essential but in the corporate world they call us expendable resource.
Whenever you hear that a cop received some kind of "training" or that an employee of a business has received some kind of "training" this is basically what they're getting at.
I can't even begin to count all the mind numbing bs I've sat through trying to stay awake that the company didn't even make seem all that important til one day it was and nobody could remember the "training" we supposedly received.
Half the time ya don't even get that, they just sign off on your "training" rather you were there for it or notkr they'll quickly rattle something off to ya and then consider you "trained". Everything from safety protocol, food contamination, poisons, hazardous chemicals, name it.
And I've talked with several former cops and CO's who said the same bs game was played with them.
So when shit goes left yet a business or the state wants to say that they already did whatever training but that they'll get right on doing some more to fix some systemic problem that they wanna chalk up to a bum employee or bad apple, remember this clip.
Would you prefer to be constantly audited for your training?
@@failtolawl I'm a $15 an hour security guard and I am constantly audited for my training. They make 100+grand a year but they can't be?
I love the truth, and you sir are telling it. "Training" is vastly overrated because it's not always what it's supposed to be.
lol! that look bunk is giving mcnulty at the end like, "uh, are you the same guy i know?" 😳
“No disrespect to your appendix” is a phrase I need to use next boring ass meeting I attend. The delivery of that line is just hilarious
Best. Show. Ever.
Did you edit these together or did these scenes follow each other? I don't remember myself, but it's perfect to illustrate how out of touch the higher ups are.
They follow each other
They follow each other, and it's even more explicit later in the season when Prez compares grading practices at the school to juking the stats at the department.
Ive been in so many of those briefings... This is so real.
Masterpiece of a show
We need an entire miniseries about Bunk on the Glenlivet and McNutty on the Jaime, see if that train is still on the train
Thumbnail of this video says it all.
The rigid, inflexible and often impotent manner of bureaucratic operations.
The teachers can't even teach a class full of teachers without it degenerating into complete chaos LOL.
the best production ever. period.
Bunk just wanted his best buddy to get horrible drunk with. Gosh I feel for him. I miss the service
I don't know why I can so easily think of Santangelo's face-rub at 1:36 as saying "Oh, please, shut up, lecturer, no terrorists are ever going to hit the Western District. Teach us about something more important like, how to be mindful of our surroundings in light of the Freddie Gray thing [ok Freddie Gray happened a long time after The Wire, but still....]."
Kendra Marybeth Davenport Freddie grey, get the fuck outta here
That should be a meme.
An excellent show and I wish they would bring it back in a part 2!
lol Carver @ 2:02
Watching this season almost two decades after it came out was annoying, because there's so many mass shootings in the US and the same advice about mass casualty events/soft targets is directly applicable here. Reminds me of the scene in Season 5 where they just mention the fentanyl epidemic sweeping the homeless.
A taste Jimmy. A taste. 😂🤣😭 greatest gift television could’ve ever given the human race was blessing us all with such gold
You wouldn't have got a TV show as unremittingly cynical (and brilliant) as The Wire before 9/11.
+Michael Johns ...every cloud.
Homicide: Life on the Street got pretty close
We are all pawns in the game it seems. Crazy
The opening part for the teachers sounds right out of the cult handbook :)
*Dinner?* Bunk was flabbergasted
Death by PowerPoint is an eerie memory. Thanks for reminding me. Watch Judy Garland takes doing Monotony. 😵
At 1:27, Prez is thinking "oh my God, what have I got myself into?" XD
Jimmy was doing so good.
Own worst enemy.
@1:53 What is on "Pensy and Gold" on Baltimore? Anybody knows?
Pennsylvania ave and gold street
Its smack dab in the middle of westside. Major drug transactions go on there.
@@anthonyanderson9303 Thank you!
@@anthonyanderson9303 well they got new houses there now. Not like it was back in the old days
@@melloscott1732 thing about the old days, they the old days
They should bring this show back.
If they did, do you really think it would even remotely compare to the original 5 seasons? Be careful what you wish for...
@@SwissCheese667 Safe to say it'll be more comparable to GOT season 8.
I want a Wire spinoff series set in that school.
My kids used to hate going to school with binders from the various BS classes I attended.
And to think I wanted to be a teacher 👩🏫....whew chile! I can’t.
You could teach me something, let’s meet
😆
@@Shallowwam this fool is whale hunting in youtube comments
@@dewok2706 whatever it takes
Shout our to Antoine Grandeson and Harold Houndshell... legendary shit disturbers
I. A. L. A. C.
clay davis - shiiiitttttttt
I completely refuse to engage with these types of things at work. Just give me a piece of paper with the relevant bullet points and let me do my job. Stupid fucking acronyms.
Why i left the white collar world, i plan on getting a cdl soon.
You just drive the truck and get paid
Its more sane
The best scene ever!!
I'd imagine Coca-Cola's "Trying to be less White" training is like this. Would def attend though probably hilarious as heck.
Same thing came into my mind
No disrespect to your appendix, but if them terrorists do fuck up the Western could anybody even tell? 😂
I.A.L.A.C.-I AM LOVABLE AND CLUELESS
2:01 S5 when Carver realized what he did here was done worse by his subordinates when he got promoted. Daniels was right.
Happy there until he got the job.
(Bunk) "OK who are you and what have you done with Jimmy?"...
"This horse shit' you serious"
2:21 - Looks like they fucked up there for a second.
Can somebody clear up the terrorist joke to me , is he implying that west bmore is so wrecked people wouldn't notice, or that the street code would prevent them from snitching to the police about an attack?
The consultants hired by to prepare these seminars probably got paid by the city in the lower 8 figures.
Oof
holy shit professional development sucks!
Insanely grating just how out of touch the higher ups in the school system are. Those corny ass presentations dont mean shit once the teachers head back to their classrooms lol
Lol Carver pertending to be a terrrorist
I worked with educators for a lot of years and I saw a lot of this cringey stuff.
Now here is an idea. Make the teachers and the cops switch jobs for a few weeks. In the schools, my guess is that there would be soon be order in the classrooms.
On the streets of Baltimore, there would probably be less patrolling and arrests, but there would be more proficient criminal investigations and high profile arrests as soon as the teachers learn the ropes of that job. Also police brutality would drop like a stone in water.
No
Seth Gilliam is not that good of an actor
What’s the point of this scene again??
To show the similarities between the systems and how certain approaches are doomed to fail.
Realism
