Join Chris and Susan for an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at “Homicide: Life on the Street,” with journalist, author, writer, and producer David Simon. David delves candidly into how his award-winning 1991 book, “Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets,” was translated to the screen, how he learned to write for teleplays, and how the real crimes and detectives from the book became the engaging stories and characters portrayed in the award-winning television series. David Simon is a Baltimore-based journalist, author, and television producer. He created and produced the celebrated HBO series The Wire, which depicts an American city's political and socioeconomic fissures.  A former reporter for the Baltimore Sun, Simon is the author of two books of narrative non-fiction. His first book, Homicide, was the basis for the NBC drama of that name, and his second, The Corner, became an Emmy-winning HBO miniseries.  Subsequent television credits include Generation Kill, Treme, Show Me A Hero, The Deuce, and The Plot Against America. His most recent project, We Own This City, is a six-hour, limited series chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. It examines the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.

In 2017, seven members of an elite Baltimore police unit called the Gun Trace Task Force were arrested and charged with robbery, extortion, fraud, and selling drugs seized during police operations. While some were quick to dismiss the arrests as a case of a few bad apples, a subsequent investigation revealed a culture of corruption within the Baltimore Police Department that had allowed rogue cops to flourish.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Based on an explosive true story, I GOT A MONSTER retells in highly dramatic fashion one of the nation's biggest police corruption scandals. In 2017, Baltimore was rocked by the Federal indictment of Wayne Jenkins, a highly decorated super-cop and leader of the Baltimore Police Department's elite Gun Trace Task Force along with six other members on racketeering charges. In a city plagued by racial tension and violence, plain-clothes detectives from the Gun Trace Task Force had been celebrated for holding the Thin Blue Line, but in fact were terrorizing Baltimore's Black community. These dirty cops were stealing and reselling millions of dollars of drugs while brazenly planting evidence and falsifying police reports. However, they didn't plan for a campaigning defense attorney or a secret FBI wiretap operation to end their crime spree and expose decades of criminality inside the police department. I GOT A MONSTER takes viewers around every twist and turn of a real-life cat-and-mouse game where cops are also robbers and those meant to protect our safety turn out to be the ones jeopardizing it. Director Kevin Abrams (Left at the Rio Grande, Indirect Actions) joins us for a conversation on the depth and scope of police corruption within this decorated unit, as well as the havoc that was visited upon people, mostly, people of color, guilty of nothing except being in the wrong place, the flawed rationale behind the formation of “Special” police units and the citizens who stood up to the corruption and intimidation.

Found in a West Baltimore alley with a gunshot wound to the head in November of 2017, police initially said he was the victim of foul play.

The Land of the Unsolved has obtained a new report detailing a separate investigation by the Maryland State Police into Suiter's death that has until now remain secret. A analysis of the case which reveals new details on his death, and what homicide investigators actually knew about Suiter's troubled past. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-land-of-the-unsolved/support

We're keeping the series going with HBO's, 'We Own This City,' "a six-hour, limited series chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. It examines the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work." This week, Tony joins the show and we talk about the clear connection to 'The Wire' and how no matter the knee jerk reaction to look up every scene, you need to pay attention to every scene. Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

We Own This City–written by Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Justin Fenton and the basis for David Simon's HBO miniseries–tells the shocking, true story of a massive police corruption scandal. Baltimore had been struggling with high rates of violent crime for decades when, in 2007, the police department established the Gun Trace Task Force, a unit of plain-clothed police officers whose mandate was to go after gun traffickers by conducting sophisticated investigations. Instead, the officers mainly patrolled the streets and stopped people, often without sufficient cause. They abused their power to steal money, to steal drugs that they sometimes resold, to plant evidence, and to lie about their activities, which were in many instances unconstitutional. The story broke in 2017, two years after the murder of Freddie Gray, another tragedy that rocked the city. In this episode, Julie and Eve talk to Justin about what the Gun Trace Task Force corruption scandal reveals about the war on drugs, police corruption, the relationship between politics and policing, the struggles between law enforcement and the communities they serve, and the suffering of those communities. Justin Fenton is an investigative reporter for the Baltimore Banner, a new nonprofit dedicated to supporting local journalism. He previously spent 17 years at the Baltimore Sun, covering the criminal justice system. He was part of the Pulitzer Prize finalist team for the coverage of the death of Freddie Gray and was a two-time finalist for the National Livingston Award for Young Journalists. He is the author of We Own This City: A True Story of Crime, Cops, and Corruption, as well as a consultant on the HBO TV series adaptation of the same name.

Now, we turn to the Baltimore-based author and journalist Baynard Woods. His last book, written with Brandon Soderberg, was a chronicle of corruption in the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. It's called I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of America's Most Corrupt Police Squad. His latest book is a memoir that chronicles his reckoning with the legacy of his own family's moral corruption as slave holders in South Carolina, and how he has tried to come to grips with his own culpability in advancing, however unwittingly, white supremacy. It's an unflinching exploration of how an anti-racist attempts to reconcile the racist past of his family and people he was close to. It's called Inheritance: An Autobiography of Whiteness.  Baynard Woods joins us on Zoom. _______________________________________ Baynard Woods will be signing copies of his book tomorrow night (Thursday, July 14) from 6-8pm at the Urban Reads Bookstore at 3008 Greenmount Ave., Baltimore 21218.

Host Geri Cole talks to David Simon, co-creator and showrunner of the new HBO miniseries WE OWN THIS CITY, about how he sees the mini-series as the coda to his legendary show, THE WIRE; the lessons he learned as a journalist that have helped him as a television writer; and why the drug war is one of America's worst policies and needs to end. David Simon is a Baltimore-based screenwriter, journalist, author, and television producer. A former crime reporter for the Baltimore Sun, he is the author of two books of narrative nonfiction—Homicide and The Corner—and is the creator of the celebrated HBO series THE WIRE, which depicts the political and socioeconomic fissures in an American city. His other television credits include the NBC drama HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET and HBO's THE CORNER—both adaptations of his nonfiction books—as well as HBO's GENERATION KILL, TREME, and THE DEUCE. He was a 2010 MacArthur Fellow and has received numerous accolades over the course of his career, including an Edgar Award and multiple Emmy and Writers Guild Awards. His latest project is the crime drama miniseries WE OWN THIS CITY. Based on the nonfiction book of the same name by fellow Baltimore Sun alum Justin Fenton, the show details the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force and the corruption surrounding it. The six-part miniseries premiered in April 2022 on HBO and is available to stream on HBO Max. --- Before it was a podcast, OnWriting was a print publication. Check out OnWriting: The Print Archives.

What's up everyone? We're coming to you on this fine Friday, with a longform interview episode of a different sort than you're used to. Today, Jake sits down with David Simon (@AoDespair), a Baltimore legend who kicked off his time in the city as a crime beat reporter for The Sun, and then parlayed his writing into a long and storied career in prestige TV. His collected works include "Homicide," "The Corner," and of course "The Wire" which all take place in Baltimore and highlight some of the culture (not all of it positive) of the city. David returned to Baltimore for his most recent TV show, "We Own This City" a six-part miniseries that's adapted from Justin Fenton's book of the same name. The series is airing currently on Monday nights at 9PM on HBO Max, and explores the rise and fall of the key members of the infamous Gun Trace Task Force, a plainclothes unit that policed well outside of the rule book, and abused their power to a staggering degree. In nearly an hour long discussion, David discusses his beginnings with The Sun, his time in the city both covering it as a journalist, and then portraying it on TV (fictionally and otherwise), and what he's hoping to accomplish with his new series. We really hope you guys enjoy this one as it was a clear highlight for us in the several years doing this show. Have a great weekend, and we'll talk again next week!

Hvis du ikke har set The Wire, så gør det. Har du dog tygget dig igennem de 342 episoder af Baltimore-krimi/dramaet, så kan du heldigvis kaste dig over serieskaberen David Simons nye miniserie We Own this City, der lige nu kan ses på HBO. For den er fremragende, siger Lone Nikolajsen. Som i The Wire foregår den i Baltimores politi, men denne gang har David Simon et dokumentarisk forlæg. We own this city handler om en virkelig korruptionsskandale i byens politikorps, som endte med, at samtlige ni medlemmer af den civilklædte eliteenhed Gun Trace Task Force i 2017 blev dømt. Lone Nikolajsen anmelder. Og vi skal naturligvis også tale om den seneste uges optrapning af konflikten mellem Vesten og Rusland. For mens NATO-lande sætter turbo på våbenhjælpen til Ukraine, er Rusland i stigende grad begyndt at tale om en regulær stedfortræderkrig og truer med/advarer mod, at det kan ende i en atomar konfrontation. Mathias Irminger Sonne er igennem fra Berlin. Og så får jeg besøg af chefredaktøren, der faktisk har en optur over, at Rusland lukker for gassen. For det må nødvendigvis få EU til at indse, at olien og gassen skal blive i jorden. Lyt med!

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore the influence of David Simon and The Wire, as the Baltimore-set opus celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Beginning his career as a police reporter for the much respected Baltimore Sun, David Simon eventually became disillusioned with changes being made at the paper and spent a year embedded with the Baltimore Police Department's Homicide Unit. That resulted in the book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, which became the basis for the TV show Homicide: Life On The Street. Simon followed that with another book, The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood, which was adapted for TV as The Corner, and then created The Wire, which changed television forever. Simon has since been behind the shows Generation Kill, Treme, The Deuce and The Plot Against America. His latest project We Own This City sees him return to Baltimore, this time to tell the true story of the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force and the corruption surrounding it. Ellen looks at the influence of David Simon's work with a focus on unconventional casting - Simon repeatedly casts non-actors, and people with first hand experience of the subjects he explores. She speaks with casting director Pat Moran, who has worked alongside Simon on several projects. She also talks to Ronan Bennett and Gerry Jackson. Ronan is the creator and writer of Top Boy and Gerry is the series' story consultant. Gerry is a fitness trainer but his knowledge of Hackney and connection to the local community helped Ronan to write Top Boy, and to find local talent to feature in the show, in an echo of The Wire. And Mark goes back 20 years to speak to someone who was there when The Wire began. Actor Clarke Peters was on the show for all five seasons, playing fan favourite Detective Lester Freamon and delivering some of the show's greatest lines. Mark also talks to Professor Liam Kennedy, editor of The Wire: Race, Class, and Genre - a series of essays exploring the show's portrayals of race, drug war policing, deindustrialisation, and the inadequacies of America's civic, educational, and political institutions. Also, Top Boy star Ashley Walters shares what he's been watching. Screenshot is Radio 4's guide through the ever-expanding universe of the moving image. Every episode, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode journey through the main streets and back roads connecting film, television and streaming over the last hundred years.   Producer: Tom Whalley A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

A recent HBO documentary entitled The Slow Hustle has brought renewed attention to the mysterious death of Baltimore homicide detective Sean Suiter in 2017. Police initially claimed Suiter was the victim of a lone assailant after his body was found in a West Baltimore alley with a gunshot wound to the head. But as details began to emerge regarding Suiter's involvement with some of Baltimore's most corrupt cops, the case took a turn that raised serious questions about what actually happened and if his death was part of a broader cover-up.Shortly after Suiter died, Police Accountability Report hosts Taya Graham and Stephen Janis produced a podcast series that looked behind the scenes and examined how Suiter's death told a more complex story about police corruption in Baltimore. In Part III of this podcast series, Graham and Janis explore the bombshell revelation that Suiter's mysterious death occurred one day before he was supposed to testify in a major corruption investigation regarding the Baltimore Police Department's infamous Gun Trace Task Force.Read the transcript of this podcast: https://therealnews.com/police-say-homicide-detective-sean-suiter-committed-suicide-so-why-doesnt-anyone-believe-themHelp us continue producing Police Accountability Report by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-pod-parSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/nl-pod-parGet Police Accountability Report updates: https://therealnews.com/pod-up-parLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews
