True but let’s not pretend bunk and Baltimore police were saviours to that community. They’re weren’t - we saw it over and over again with the “war of drugs” ravaging Bmore. There weren’t too many, if any, police in the wire that genuinely wanted to heal the community and not just take down the never ending cycle of “king pins”

Truly. Bunk doesn't lose his cool often. But when he does, it hits deep. Even Omar, with his code, knows that.

One of the most powerful scenes that I've ever seen on television. That was the first time Omar didn't have a witty comeback. He knew Bunk was right.

When you are ALWAYS sitting on your hands.....

This scene showcases the moral ambiguity that is central to the show. Omar, often seen as an anti-hero for robbing drug dealers and adhering to a strict code, is confronted by Bunk about the wider, negative impact of his actions on the community, including children who idolize him. This exchange challenges viewers' perceptions of Omar, revealing a more complex and darker side to his character. It serves as a reminder that the series does not offer clear-cut heroes and villains but instead invites a more nuanced understanding of morality within a deeply flawed system.

In a show rammed packed with outrageously good scenes, this one for me is probably the best of them all. There is so much going on here, it’s hard to know where to start. The scene is basically a social commentary/synapses of the entire latter half of 20th century inner city American life. All the failings, poverty, inequalities, racial divides and injustices of American society are seen here. This scene is more than just part of the story, it is a message, and everyone, right down from the producers of the show, the writers, the directors and most of all the actors, know this. Bunks delivery of that message is flawless. The self disgust on Omar’s face at the end; from start to finish the scene is truly brilliant.

That spit at the end by Omar was all he could do; he had NO words to respond to that!

I remember when I was in college and wanted some money. Few days later I ran into someone I grew up with and he asked me if I still talked to some rich kid from this other neighborhood who do drugs. He said I could middle man and keep a percentage. I said, yeah I still know them but I haven’t talked to them that much since I started college. He looked at me and said never mind, you’re in college so you do college and leave the streets alone.” I graduated, I have my masters, and a great job making great money. This happened 15 years ago and I think about it all the time. So many people in the streets know crime isn’t the answer. This guy was super smart but had a sick mom so he dropped out of high school and had to provide for his mom and siblings. He was a victim of circumstance.

Two magnificent actors at the top of their game. Supposedly David Simon didn't share upcoming scenes with the actors. That kept it so fresh, and it still is.

@jaythomas468

4 ай бұрын

Well, “codes” are ambiguous and malleable to the social environments that bred them. I think, more importantly, this scene was just to show Omar that his ACTIONS DO NOT OCCUR IN A “VACUUM.” They have unforeseen and often unintended “ripples” that reverberate out to have a larger effect on the greater social fabric of the community in which he operates in.

It was, Omar was getting super popular with the show's fan-base especially the younger audience (teenagers and young adults) and the director David Simon wasn't liking it. For the better honestly, as 'honourable' anti-heroes be it Omar Little in The Wire or Mike Ehrmantraut in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul are not good people, they're still violent criminals at the end of the day who one way or another are enabling the misery of crime and the drug trade on the community.

Wendell Pierce’s finest moment on The Wire.

Best scene from the best show ever. Omar’s reaction when Bunk calls him a predatory mfer is incredible

Bunk reminded Omar about the true code. That's why Omar got Dozerman's gun back.

One of the finest scenes in the history of television. Just two fine actors, superb dialogue and a bench.

Omar this whole series had a smart answer for everyone. Until someone from his own neighborhood on the other side of the law set him straight

I love this scene!!! For everyone struggling I'm praying you get through it!!! This man was an amazing person and actor and we lost him to an addiction and I'm sick of loosing people

As much as Bunk disagreed with Omar's methods, deep down, he knew Omar was the most righteous individual on those streets. That is why he had an open line of communication with him. That respect is what made him go to bat for Omar on the bogus murder change.

Bunk: Sanctimonious diatribe about back in the day. Slim Charles: Yeah, now well the thing about the old days, they the old days.

Watching this high on acid was even better, must have watched it 30 times in a row.

What I love about this scene is that they allow Bunk to walk away with moral superiority. They don't give Omar a line to counter or make it seem as if he can somehow justify what happens. That's the brilliance of the Wire. Bunk is right, Omar knows he's right and both keep going along their path. Respecting each other but not necessarily changing.

I forgot about this scene. I couldn't really understand what they were talking about when I first saw it but now I get it.
