In The Wire, a police officer expresses his views on the way police are being hurt and killed for things that are petty in the grand scheme of things. He describes the way people who want to drink in public would just put their liquor in a brown paper bag, and that that gave the police an opportunity to perform real police work. However, when it comes to drugs on the street “there is no paper bag for drugs”. I strongly believe that police officers should not be put in the line of fire for something that isn’t even worth it. This is a powerful argument because a fellow police officer was shot and killed for “3 vials” of drugs; something that isn’t worth dying for.
