Are we ready to have some uncomfortable discussions about ‘The Wire’?

Again, you discuss bad and evil like the Wire is some type of Superhero show.

You missed so much in the show. It's a mirror of society and specifically the city of Baltimore. It's not supposed to be some idealized view of humanity.

You're talking about people, but the Wire shows that the system is broken. They are constantly reinforcing 'THE CHAIN OF COMMAND' throughout the series and if you break that chain there will be consequences.
Good and evil exist in reality, not just superhero. You think a pedophile isn't evil by their actions?

I am literally talking about all the things coverd by the show. Seems you don't like facing reality though. Guess what? There are fukked up people who do evil things in society, and to not call them fukked up and evil people due to their actions is absurd. Especially when you ignore their actions and try to handwave away their actual culpability in the state of affairs by putting it on a non-person like "society" or "the system"

The people make up the system. If the people in that system were doing right, the system wouldn't be broken. The chain of command is filled with what? People. You want to take the onus of dirty cops, the system filled with dirty cops that protects these dirty cops, the crooked politicians the people who continue to elect and excuse these dirty politicians and put them in power to continue to exploit them, you want to ignore the crooked judges, and etc. Why is that? Why do you want to ignore the murderous thugs who deal drugs and not hold them accountable for the people they terrorize? Its very strange how you are protective of human filth?

Good and evil does exist just not in the way you want it to. Criminality, right and wrong change everyday? Something was criminal and wrong today, but tomorrow its okay. Did I suddenly become a good person? Something was perfectly fine today, tomorrow it's bad/wrong, am I now a bad evil person?
No right and wrong doesn't change everyday. You are confusing legalism with ethics/morality.

Is breaking the law, right or wrong?

Morals and ethics contradict the law often times.
Depends on the law.
Like I said don't confuse legalism with morals/ethics they are two different things.
I didn't say people were wrong for doing illegal things, I said they were wrong for doing evil/bad things.

Nah nah nikka. Right is right and wrong is wrong according to you, so dance around the question. Is breaking the law right or wrong?

Nothing is being danced around, you are a little simple and confused yourself, when corrected you realize you have no ground to stand on, now you want to try to make me agree on something I don't to seem like you actually ever had a point when you dont and never did.

I’m from the dumbest state in the country and people aren’t as dumb as some characters in the wire and this forum make it seem.

I love it but there’s a reason cacs also love the wire so much.
