He 'makes more sense' than sam harris. Just like david said internet is good for clout but not for good journalism.

Sanctimonious he is. :(

Then BE David Simon!

What character did you play

Major Norm Thurston. I was Burrell's aid. I also had other cop roles and civilian roles. If you look at my channel, I have some photos on my photo page of myself in uniform. I started first in season 3 in Moral Midigetry and then in Final Grades. plus.google.com/u/0/+TonyWilisDisicple/photos

+Christs' disciple man that's awesome can't believe I talked to an actor on the wire!!

eoghan cassidy I'm no celebrity. But thanks. I had a blast doing the show and I grew up living just like they did. Only it wasn't as bad. I never saw dead bodies but I did have friends shot and killed. I grew up in the street.

+Christs' disciple wow man that's actually crazy I could never imagine that, and if your on the wire ( the greatest tv show ever made) that's an amazing accomplishment.

yeah buddy pq

coreycox2345 the way to help stop bad policing is to draft people that dont want to be cops. Yeah like draft citezens for 4 yrs of law enforcement. If you enjoy it you get fired. The same practice would work Wonderful when hiring and seeking volunteers to take children on camping trips. Only allow the parents that hate kids to take the kids. Do not take the parents that are too quick to volunteer every camping trip.

@@newnotification30 Yo that's some truth right there.

@@newnotification30 Huh? I am not understanding how this would resolve the problem.

Which they now have been, to devastating effect.

And here we are...

And the junk on the internet increased exponentially.

Welp, look where we’re at now

Nope. Treme actually.

Oh, man. I only have seen the first four of that, but McConnahey's character is fantastic, dark and troubled and smart and figured the ugly truth of life out and hilarious and honorable all in one. Woody Harrelson is also great in it. Woody: Is your mother still alive? Mathew: Mebbe.

@@nunya1738 I actually liked Season 2 better.

David Simon would never go into politics. He's smart enough to understand that political systems corrupt everyone foolish enough to participate in them.

RU that sure about Simon? Corruption is a fact of life when things aren't black and white. When things get complicated and aren't pure and nice. (In a rhyming Simon kinda way) Simon was a reporter & they sometimes get angry about what they see that doesn't fit in a script. Your position about politics is very popular on YT which doesn't mean it's wrong. "Hillary's sooo corrupt." "Obama promised change, where's the change?" (To quote Bruce Willis) And other deep deep thoughts that David Simon would **very likely** not take. Or, "both parties are sooo corrupt." That you might take. This one is like mantra, "I'm so past artificial cultural divides of left and right...they're just trying to divide and conquer." I'm not assuming you take those positions I'm just talking generally about the feedback I get.

+R JN not anymore!

+Dingus Flotbottom Guess O'Malley won't wind up sleeping with his campaign manager after all, lol.

+theryanbard The fact that this video's comment section is filled with such frothy arguments is really sad. Even more so when one heed's Simon's counsel and proceeds with his own investigation, rather than simply taking the word of a much fawned over(near universal genuflection by TV critics, academia and damn near everyone else who fancied themselves "in the know". This pattern of unabashed groveling at DS's feet goes all the way back to Homicide's equally ratings bereft yet prolonged run on NBC), handsomely paid TV creator who remains eager to fill us in on how stymied his every attempt to expose "the elite"'s collective chicanery has been: www.counterpunch.org/2008/03/15/faking-the-hood/ scroll down a bit Passing off shit as gold indeed.....

Lol got to be honest that op-ed piece didn't really convince me. It hardly proves anything other than Ishmael Reed's opinions.

MuskPumpkin The Wire

Yeah that would be awesome if he was on Joe Rogan’s show.

@@rashonburnett6473 please no

I'm tired of being angry.

"Citzen journalists" don't understand what journalism is. They believe talking head opinionizers is journalism. "Everyone has a right to their opinion" -- fact and truth aren't relevant, and the "opinion" needn't be legitimate.

What he's referring to is that it hit NOLA fairly light. It was much stronger to the east around Gulfport, MS.

How is Kima a bad cop??

@@csanchezalvarez "Daniels, Kima" "Good Cop, Bad Cop" Seems cut and dry to me :)

@@likessox92 I see what you mean, but I'm sure he includes both Daniels and Kima in the good cop category. No possible comparison btw Kima and others like Burrell

***** The term "limousine Left" is descriptive of the rich Left in the US. It's a phrase worthy of repetition. It certainly doesn't help people like you to say it, but then it isn't intended to. You should spend a few years in DC within the federal bureaucracy. Maybe then you could know what you're talking about too.

DrCruel Limousine left is a genuinely ridiculous and stupid term. The left argues for social benefits, programs to help the poor and oppressed. The idea that if you happen to be wealthy you can not advocate for those less fortunate is a truly stupid concept. Surely the 'limousine left' is far better than the limousine right which cuts food stamps, cuts welfare, cuts funding to schools, cuts any program that helps people struggling in a ridiculously stupid country which criminalizes poverty.

ahabthewhaler The idea that people would sincerely promote the limousine Left and the welfare industry they have constructed and from which they profit from as a solution is ridiculous and stupid. In fact it's insane to think that even more funding and power for the very Leftist hypocrites who have looted national economies all over the world would have any sort of positive effect. It's an insult to the intelligence of people that have to listen to and are forced to buy into these social engineering scams. Just given the history of such programs in the US, it's obscene. Surely a nation that criminalizes productive work and entrepreneurship in favor of a form of feudal socialism enforced by a huge government apparatus cannot survive indefinitely. One would think the famous collapse of several socialist nations east of the Elbe would have been enough proof of that. Mind, I don't think these vile Leftist crooks are either stupid or insane. They're just socialist thieves riding a good thing for as long as we let them. Their supporters are not idiots either - just morally bankrupt scum hoping to sponge a seat on that huge bureaucratic gravy train. The real solution to this sort of institutionalized criminality is rather obvious. HINT: It doesn't involve buying a full five season DVD set of The Wire.

DrCruel "feudal socialism"? Wow, man.

***** I call it like I see it.

Are you talking about David Simon? I don't get it I don't understand how anyone could call him either of those

Maybe there are ways to be more positive about our predatory capitalist society and the discardable persons that are its bi-product, but I don't know how it can be done, myself. Maybe it is a positive to recognize the truth of our situation, if you care at all about the populations trapped in the stagnant economies of the most affected regions, and thus have a substantial starting point from where the overhaul of our national institutions can begin? That positive enough? Otherwise, ignoring all of these realities could be a sign of denial as much as recognizing them can be perceived as being cynical.

Ya you’re right he’s clearly gotten nowhere with his career.
