“Police need to walk away from the drug war…”

David Simon

“Long before Freddie Gray’s death in police custody made Baltimore an epicenter of the Black Lives Matter movement, David Simon had covered police for the Baltimore Sun.

“He used his experience to write two books and two television series, including the critically acclaimed ‘The Wire.’ The New Yorker’s Jelani Cobb rides around West Baltimore with Simon to talk about what’s gone wrong with policing, and how to fix it.”
