Warning: if you haven't watched David Simon's new HBO miniseries, "We Own This City", this 15,000+ word blog post of his spoils one of the major dramatic turns. If you're a fan of The Wire, you'll probably have some liking for WOTC just for its modern day depiction of Baltimore politics and policing, though being bound by accuracy to real events makes it a much different show.
Sean Suiter is one of the main characters in WOTC. Apparently what happened to him and his detective career has been a topic of much ongoing controversy.
Related to the officer who died of probable suicide during the Baltimore Police Department 2017 racketeering indictment [1] fictionalized by the author in "We Own The City" [0].
Not as good as The Wire but still worth the watch thanks to the performances (of Jon Berthal among others) and the storytelling.

My favorite “cameo” was the actor who played Duquam Weems (Jermaine Crawford) makes a brief appearance as a Cop
