The lone comment Chad's post on the subject received says it all: "Where's Wallace, Stringer?"
Yes, once again the battle between cops and robbers in St. Louis continues to play out like a real life episode of The Wire. (For confused non-viewers, Wallace and Stringer, pictured above, are the names of two characters on the HBO show.)
This time around, let's do a checklist to see how the city is stacking up:
- "Dope on the damn table." Check?
- Colorful aliases for the gang members like like "Slim" "Dirty" "Yellow" and Skan"? Check.
- A press conference in which the police chief dons his fancy uniform and touts his squad's efforts to reduce drug crime in the city? Check
- An uptick of violent crime in the area due to witness intimidation (i.e. Wallace and Stringer) and rival gangs fighting for the new turf? Time will tell.
A conservative estimate puts us somewhere in Season 3 of the show, meaning somewhere on the streets of the northside, Marlo Stanfield is getting ready to make a violent power grab. St. Louis police should start snooping around custom wheel shops immediately. Luckily, there's a solution to the problem. Watch it below.
