American Society VII from "The Wire"

As mentioned earlier, in order to confirm that William Gantt was killed because of his testimony, McNulty and Bunker took Dee to the police station for questioning, but one was that the means of interrogation were limited, the other was that there was no evidence to charge, and the detention time was very short. So as soon as they arrived at the police station, the two started their "cross talk show" in front of Di, boasting about how good William Gantt was and how miserable his children were, to win Di's sympathy. The kind-hearted Di ￭ Angela was really caught and began to write to Gantt's children, expressing "sorry" for Gantt's death. (See photo) Dee's letter doesn't reveal any criminal information, so it's legally useless, but as Gemma said: "If it's nothing to do with you, why apologize?" Gantt was killed and the Barksdale Group was inextricably linked. When McNulty and Gemma excitedly took the letter to find Daniels, they hoped that Daniels could use the "witness killed" to ask for more manpower and material resources to the superiors, but Daniels poured cold water on the head because the police led by the police Strong pressure, Daniels still said, "Don't be swaggering, don't make a big deal. Like I said, make a quick decision", (Daniels: no grandstangding, no red balls, like i said, we get in and get out.) McNulty was disheartened, but Daniels' subtle expression showed that his mind began to change.
Just as McNulty and others were busy with the case, Carver, Heck, and Pretz acted recklessly, rushing into the high-rise area at two o'clock in the middle of the night (drug dealers, very dangerous at night), according to Heck's Saying: "u got to let these motherfuckers know who u are." (u got to let these motherfuckers kown who u are.) But the three were intrepid and were mobbed en masse after injuring a child who defied them in a high-rise district , the police car was burned, a lot of equipment was lost, Heck was injured, and three people face criminal charges for injuring people. (In the United States, there are many investigation methods for police violations. First of all, there is a department within the police department called IID - Internal Affairs Department - to investigate excessive police enforcement or illegal acts. The functions, working modes and What is the relationship between the police station, I'm sorry I didn't find it on the Internet. If anyone knows about it, you can add it. But judging from the situation where IID is mentioned later in the episode, the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigates cases very strictly, and most police are afraid of this. Department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is even known as the "Grim Reaper". Secondly, for less serious abuse of power, you can complain to the relevant local administrative department or civil rights agency, such as the famous American Civil Liberties Union, the People's Complaints Association, etc.; finally, For more serious violations, you can contact a lawyer or the District Attorney's Office (D A'office) and go through legal procedures. At the beginning of the third episode, it was mentioned that the prosecutor brought the case of the three Carver to the court and had to pass The verdict of the "grand jury" - what happened to the grand jury later - whether to criminally indict the three. In the end, because the prosecution's three witnesses from the high-rise district have all been guilty of felonies, the testimony cannot be anyone I believe that this matter will not be settled. Here is another important topic: the racial issue. If Carver and others make a scene in the high-rise district, the headline will definitely be "White police beat black minors seriously, avoid criminal charges At the end of April 2015, racial riots broke out in Baltimore, and a large number of black people took to the streets to protest. According to later investigations, many of the protests were actually organized by drug cartels. Because drug cartels usually have deep grievances with the police, they just took this opportunity to retaliate. In the riots, the worst victims were Asian shops, including Chinese, and similar things happened in the black riots in Los Angeles in 1991. Can you believe it? It can be seen that the issue of race is very complicated, far from what people imagine. is as simple as that in. This issue will be discussed in detail later)
At this point, the task force and this case are all signs of death.
