>watch the shield
>vic mackey beats people up and detectives laugh in peoples face when they ask for a lawyer
>watch true crime videos
>detectives are pussies and even have to buy food for the perp
so was this show full of shit or were cops in the 2000s just built different?
They buy food for them in the Shield too
A mix of the two is more accurate. The Shield is closest to cop fantasy while in reality they’re more b***hy and passive aggressive like True Detective
you cant do much as a cop anymore. cameras and smartphones are everywhere
Good
cops reflect the current status quo - crime has been on the downtrend if you just go by hard statistics.
once crime rises up again(coz laws are made more lenient just like they are currently), cops will be empowered to kick ass to make people feel comfortable.
Going off the time period it was probably more accurate just exaggerated to make the show interesting
cops used to be hardasses back when they could get away with whatever they wanted, especially in crime ridden shitholes. The stories I’ve heard…
It's based loosely on the rampart scandal
Guess what, Vic is a race flip
>Mackey
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampart_scandal
But let’s be real, it was more kino with the strike team being white guys. All different shades of white chads
>the raging badass manlet, vic
>the wildcard badass, shane
>the chad with a heart of gold, lem
>the sigma, ronnie
Ronnie was the opposite of a sigma his entire thing was being a yes man lol
ronnie doesn't speak until 5 seasons in
He didn’t need to speak, he did his job
Yes he went to jail for Vic just like he was supposed to
>YOU’RE GOD DAMNED SORRY?!?
You can't tell me Vic didn't bait him into not running because it would have raised everyone's hackles up and fricked up his immunity play
He threw Ronnie under the bus to save himself
He threw Ronnie under the bus to save his ex wife and by proxy, his kids. This is clearly portrayed in the show. He fought for Ronnie to get immunity up until his ex wife was arrested.
He was looking out for himself first and foremost, his family was in danger because of him as well.
He only cared about his family. If he didn’t give a frick about Ronnie, he would have taken the deal immediately, and not have brought him to the meeting where he said he wouldn’t do it without Ronnie.
>He only cared about his family.
>after how many seasons of the strike team family talk bullshit
>throws the last guy left alive who's also still loyal to him
Lol, Vic was fricking full of shit
>semantic bullshit
Vic’s literal family, his kids, is what he cares about most. Strike Team comes second, always did.
Vic fricking knew they had nothing on Corinne and no way to put his family away, thy could just traumatize them to where he'd never see them again, they were already split up, he just wanted to fricking look good to them so he could stay in their lives, so he went off to run to the rescue to look even better, and tossed Ronnie under the bus to do it
Lol your boyfriend is a shithead con artist
>watches Corrine get arrested
>b-but he knew they had nothing on her
lmao if he wanted to look good he would have taken the deal immediately and not fought for Ronnie to be in on it
>he knew they had nothing on her
Yes, if there was anyone that could see through Claudette's shit and know exactly whether Corrine was actually any kind of liability either for him or herself and the kids, it would have been Vic
He knew damn well Claudette was just fricking with him, he just didn't know Corrine was in on it
>if he wanted to look good he would have taken the deal immediately and not fought for Ronnie to be in on it
There's a difference between wanting to look good just to them, which was made "necessary immediately before they sit in holding and hate me for 12 hours" by the arrest, and wanting to look good to the most people he "cared about" possible
He didn't hate Ronnie and loyalty is very valuable, but Ronnie's life was expendable to have a shot at speaking to his wife or kids again
Mental illness
Massive egomania more like
>This is clearly portrayed in the show.
It's also portrayed how he totally thinks he's getting a b***hing super agent golden parachute job out of it too, that had nothing to do with his wife and kids, and Vic does a ton of mental gymnastry to justify whatever he does
What does this post even mean? He wanted a golden ticket out of his crimes no doubt, but initially he wanted Ronnie to get in on it too. Then he saw Corrine get “arrested” and desperately went for it just to try and save his family.
>tech master ice-blooded sociopath doesn't talk much
yes, that's why he's the best
curious about how production was working out because after the first few episodes where you see the entire strike team, you only see lem for a couple episodes and then shane for a couple episodes. i'm guessing they were trying to test acceptance of another main character but what do i know.
Idk about Lem but Shane was because of a dispute between Goggins’ managers and FX. They wrote him out of 3 episodes for that reason.
>But let’s be real, it was more kino with the strike team being white guys. All different shades of white chads
Oh so it's fricking okay when there's a race switch to whitewash, but not okay when there's a fricking race switch to darker skinned characters?
Just like a White child dying is tragic but a niglet dying is hilarious
Was he as smart as Vic?
I wonder if hes millionare now
>November 6, 1997 – Officer David Mack bank robbery
>On November 6, 1997, $722,000 was stolen in an armed robbery of a Los Angeles Bank of America branch. After one month of investigation, assistant bank manager Errolyn Romero confessed to her role in the crime and implicated her boyfriend LAPD officer David Mack as the mastermind. Mack was sentenced to fourteen years and three months in federal prison. He has never revealed the whereabouts of the money and, while incarcerated, bragged to fellow inmates that he would become a millionaire by the time of his release.[7] He was released from prison on May 14, 2010.[9]
the really love "whitewashing" when it benefits them
>reality
"white" rapist are blacks
The Shield is turning out to be a great show. Took a while for season 1 to pick up but on episode 8 right now and wanting to watch more.
better leave the thread. you don't want spoilers for this show
i'm in the process of drinking 3.6 pints of 7.5% alcohol in less than two hours so hopefully I can avoid/dis-remember whatever is a spoiler by tomorrow morning.
i hate the Hispanic chief and my wife hates gays
>my wife hates gays
are you watching the shield with your wife? lmao i would never show this shit to my girl. they shouldn't be thinking about such dark subjects
>never show this to my girl
Pussy whipped onions boy beta los34
No spoilers, promise but it is a fricking ride up until the last episode. It’s worth your time.
Ronnie is a bro.
oh, a Shield thread, eh? think I'll just pop in and see what's goin-
>SUCK IT!!?
nope.
Isn’t The Shield set in urban California? There’s only one way to deal with Black folk.
Use Black police and then flip the races of the cops when you make a series about them being Black folk?
In Hollywood you’re not allowed to actually be honest about human nature and the reality of races.
oh they are well aware of the reality whytboi
?si=9tRfdCcwEBhuKXQW
Nice shop chang
It's real though. There are tons of white chicks who are more than happy to indulge into this fetishistic lifestyle with their loved ones. It's actually quite beautiful to see a couple test their relationship with cuckolding and femdom and still see it survive and flourishing. I really do envy them. That's true love, my man. We can only hope to be so happy and lucky
How can white bois compete after this scene?
hey chang
how are you today?
White bros... we just got owned by the superior black race
This show is just the writers wanting to project their humilating cuck fetish
Damn it really sucks to be white
yeah, you have to sit there and look at 150gb collection of images that a group of dedicated changs had to manually edit
It can't get worse than that, can it?
Funny thing is I had a black coworker with four kids from her black husband try to jump/choke on my white dong. Stay mad, Black person.
>t. OP
Why are you guys trying to ruin a Shield thread with your dumb politics?
Holy shit
Talk about insecurity
It must really do suck to be white. Why else would they randomly spaz out over a pathetic troll? Kek
The white dude is literally me (not joking, me ane my wife are into cuckolding, especially interracial cuckolding)
Frick lmao this makes the white race look so bad lol
How many samegayged (You)s do you need for the discord screenshot cred
>literally exactly one minute apart
White bros... why can't we score any pussy? We only get to watch.
HAHAHAHA OMG LMAO
Delete this
I don't get it
Why do white guys love to watch a black guy frick their wives so much?
Why do white women love to cuckold their men so much?
White "men" are not real men
From what I've read about the real story, the actual officers were way worse than the show characters. Plus they were like 70 officers or so doing all sorts of shit.
>They made you ... cast your real-life daughter who can't act in a role of escalating importance?
Wait who?
People dispute this? I thought this was the generally accepted opinion. Also I like how the final few episodes show the difference emotionally between Shane and Vic, Shane was a shithead but he deserved better in the end, same with Ronnie. Ending was heartbreaking.
>Wait who?
There's literally only one daughter character on the show
>Shane was a shithead but he deserved better in the end
lmao what? He killed Lem on a whim to save his ass, based on hearsay. He literally fricked everything up worse every time he did something. Vic only killed Terry, a rat, while Shane fricked everything up along the way. Vic should have let Antwon rape Shane in the ass and he and Ronnie would have been on easy street.
You know the entirety of the show is just Vic's actions catching up to him right? He was also the one that groomed Shane into being a dirty cop.
Also shame thought he was killing Lem to save the team, and he felt deep regret and anguish for it.
>he LE GROOMED HIM
Oh cry me a river. Shane was a piece of shit even before Vic. Shane simps ignore how he was always the worst and most evil of the team. Vic killed a literal mole that was only there to destroy the team. And Shane cried about that. Then he beat up, or even killed people just because he got pissed off. And killed Lem just because he believed what wienersuckveda said.
>b-but le heckin wholesome family scenes when the Vendrells were squatting and playing piano
horseshit
Vic defense force is out in full force huh?
Strike team ranked on levels of evil
Vic >>>>>>>> Shane > Ronnie >>>>> Lem
>can’t even respond directly
kek Shane was always the worst, caused the most problems, and killed Lem
shane literally causes all of the problems post-money train by being short-sighted and and being an overtly corrupt
>becoming antwons b***h which leads to lem eventually dying
>telling the armenians that vic robbed the money train
I agree with this. It's extremely irresponsible to blame other people for the actions you have made. And Shane wasn't exactly the most responsible guy irregardless of what Vic did. That's not to say Vic is a good guy, but Shane was a idiot and honestly wasn't very strong unlike Lem. Odds are Shane would have still ended up a dirty cop even if he never met Vic.
>Odds are Shane would have still ended up a dirty cop even if he never met Vic.
He only got under Vic's wing because he was one already, and Vic knew it
Game recognize game
Shane apologists are the worst. Honestly you can only blame someone else for actions after a certain while before you have to accept responsibility for your own actions. Vic may have corrupted Shane but Shane was still in control of his own actions. It's a cop out to say that Vic did all the fricks that Shane did
isn't Shawn Ryan's wife the actress who plays Vic's wife? he basically put his wife into acting scenes where she kisses other men
There's a lot of cuckolding storylines that make me feel like it's Shawn Ryan barely disguised fetish coming into play
>One of Dutch's arcs in the last few seasons is literally getting cucked while he watches through a window
H-Hungry like a wolf!
Usually I'd say schizo, but in this case there actually are several prominent cucking examples throughout the show. Vic cucking Forest Whitaker's character maybe the most prominent.
What the FRICK was her problem?
>he made you suck?
>you didn't just let him shoot you in the head?
Most of the women in this show were moronic and heartless. Ironically Mara, who started out seeming like one of the worst probably ended up the best female character on the show.
>Mara was the best
Nah I would've rather taken cute police dog chick who had like 4 episodes and then got completely forgotten about over Mara
She was easily the worst
Yeah she should have been like Vic's wife and cucked him and sold him out or Aceveda's wife who blamed him for getting THROATED right?
Vic's wife was the worse
In fairness the joke was Aceveda wanted it, it's not like he even tried to fight back
>N-no, please, don't stop *sweating*
Yeah she’s a hero for giving the money train cash away like candy and hating vic for no reason. It was also based how Mara let Tavon come into her house and feel up her body.
>Hating Vic for no reason
The Vic apologists in this thread are truly insane
Mara had no reason to hate Vic
I don't think Vic is/or was a good guy. Im not trying to make apologies for him. I just hate when people try and make excuses for themselves or blame other people for the actions that they took (Shane)
>PREVIOUSLY, ON THE SHIELD
I'm shocked it took the thread 150+ posts to get here.
test
Money train
Money plane
Reminder that Vic was a simp with a white knight complex and put pussy above his own / strike team interests on multiple occasions
The show went for 7 seasons so you usually have some example of police brutality and shady dealings in every episode. In that way, it feels like a hyper exaggeration of how a corrupt special team would operate, because the show needs to meet the quota of 'crazy cops wilding out'. But the whole concept of the strike team and Vic building this web of informants and criminals who will do their bidding to avoid prosecution, is based on true crime cases like the Rampart Scandal.
Just another DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>so was this show full of shit or were cops in the 2000s just built different?
Both. The Shield is a TV show so it will exaggerate a few things for entertainment, however detectives were a lot more blunt and aggressive, and willing to tell you that your ass was going to prison for the rest of your life for murder, or a plea deal by the prosecutor if you confess everything in the interrogation room to the police without a lawyer right now.
There has been a lot of regulations and rules to follow since the early 2000's, in which police and detectives have to follow now.
>Finally an active shield thread pops up
>Some weird Black person obsessed cuckold appears and starts to shit it up
Claudette is the best character
Baitpost most likely but he's not wrong
Actually well written likable black woman that's not ashamed to look like a stereotype
Not bait at all.
On my most recent rewatch, I finally realize how consistent her dialogue is, she has no annoying or moronic storylines
I like Dutch too of course but him still getting sidetracked by b***hes towards the end is lame
Claudette doesn't have any shit like that, and it would be so easy to hate such a generally anti-Vic character, like how it's so easy to take his side whenever he and Aceveda clash
Meh b8. She is pollyanish about the way things are and tries to seem plugged in.
there was nothing wrong with dutch telling that black chick he has "northern european genetics". it was only bad because he was a cuck spaz and not a chad. if lem had told her that she'd be creaming her panties with Black personjuice
>"You ain't no man till you split dark oak."
another reason The Wire is superior
They're very different shows
lol on the wire the cucks are bending over with their mcgoyslop the second the black guys are in the room
>I hate the wire because there's black people in
Rent free damn you need some hobbies lol
>Omg you guys they said something racist on the racist website i post on!
is that image ai generated?
>Best detective on the show
>Gets any pussy he actually goes for (he could have had Tina if he wanted)
>Extremely high IQ
>Claudette's right hand man when she's made captain
>Could have been captain himself, turned it down because he's above it
>Was ahead of the curve on multiple occasions like when it came to the money train
>Ended up just fine in the end
Dutch fricking won
dutch is wasting the prime of his life babysitting Black folk in the hood for pennies. and he dates single moms with moronic kids. he didn't win anything
t. strike team
>strangles a cat in your path
>so fascinated by this notion of the look in a person's eyes as they die he strangles a cat to see it
>NOT a serial killer
>too much of a pussy to be the serial killer he is
Dutch doth protest and virtue signal way too hard
>read that Julien thing about his wife
>well it make sense he is a gay
>finish the show
>it was actually real life
lmao
>Jace was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on the evening of May 19, 2014, at his Hyde Park, South Los Angeles home, following a domestic violence report as well as Jace's own 9-1-1 call, in which he stated, "I shot my wife."[4] When police arrived, they found Jace's wife, April, dead from gunshot wounds. After being questioned by police regarding his wife's death,[5] Jace confessed to the shooting. Based on interviews, it was determined that he shot his wife out of envy.[6]
>On May 20, 2014, Jace was arrested on suspicion of murder.[1] On May 22, 2014, he was formally charged with murder by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.[7] On May 31, 2016, Jace was found guilty of second-degree murder.[8] Notably, the LAPD was able to crack the password-protected security on April's iPhone 5c.[9] On June 10, 2016, he was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison.[10] He is incarcerated at the Corcoran State Prison.[11]
Dutch was Reddit, Billings was Cinemaphile
This. Billings is secretly the most based character.

Well maybe stop feeding the troll, moronic newbie. Are you really that insecure that you feel like pointing out a desperate pathetic troll?
No feeding necessary, they post their first thing then keep responding to themself over and over
Georgia Jam juice. DAYYYYYYYYYYYY.
What does Spook Street mean?
Me being white makes mad because now I have to miss out on all the best sex
uhuh
keep going
ABSOLUTE GIGACHAD
I think it’s the guy who had a meltdown in the Hallie Berry thread
Shame it got deleted
I still don't get how vic didn't realize shane killed lem when we see him drop the grenade into his lap earlier in the episode
Does that plot hole ever get addressed?
The current interrogation meta seems to be good cop and no bad cop, just the good cop. They seem to try to match the energy of the suspect and get them comfortable. The entire goal is to get the suspect to talk as much as possible without getting spooked and requesting a lawyer
For black guys they will get their fat black guy to come in and he will start talking jive while the black suspect mumbles something black, it's like talking to a baby and the black interrogator who is obviously much smarter than the suspect will debase himself and speak like a complete moron.
>sheet mufuga whys u do dat? sheeet mayne, we wuz gon help a brotha out
It's incredibly cringe to listen to.
If it's some white drug abuser they will be coddled like a baby. Just give them some free food and they'll tell you anything.
If it's some old boomer serial killer they get two old (but about 20 years younger than the killer) guys in there to crack jokes and be really impressed by the murders, these guys will laugh at the victims and the killer will laugh with them and brag telling everything
If it's some nerdy guy they praise their intelligence. If it's more of a normal guy they praise their work ethic and how good of a parent they are. If it's some incel they will talk shit about women and how hard it is to get women. If it's a woman they will go into daddy issues and sexual harassment.
The meta is solved. It's like rock paper scissors and the interrogator gets to see that the suspect is paper so they come prepared with scissors.
TV shows aren't real, anon. Doctors don't break into peoples' houses to diagnose them, and ex-government agents don't electrocute people with lamp cords either.
