David Simon's "the wire" is an excellent series but total fantasy. black gangs are not that sophisticated, skilled, and organized. it's mostly low iq petty crime. they're not even adept at that level.

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be. Get a load of this story. 1/
