WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! URGENT MESSAGE! As we stated, we were going to donate all of our Anchor funds to Michael K. Williams' non-profit organization, "Making Kids Win" but were unable to. So, instead, we donated everything to his other non-profit organization "We Build The Block." You can either donate to us at anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support or https://webuildtheblock.org/donate/ and the money will end up in the same place.
In this episode, we dig into the uncomfortable and controversial theory that David Simon has about race and policing. We briefly discussed this in a prior episode, but now with Officer Walker's character becoming more villainous as the series progresses, we thought we would revisit Simon's actual quotes on the matter and try to examine it from all angles. Other topics of discussion include McNulty getting back to real police work and deciding to go after real church burglaries instead of playing the stat-juking game that Burrell is putting forth in order to stay relevant, Clay Davis' mind-boggling back-stabbing, Herc's continuous abuse of Bubs, Chris' absolutely brutal response to Michael's request, and much more.
