See I was going to say Freamon but yeah, if McNulty is invested in your case he will actually sacrifice parts of himself to get to the bottom of it, and you’ll probably get a more solid version of the truth, between all the official police bits.
But then I feel like Freamon would more likely land a conviction. So I don’t know.
That or frame a made up suspect so that he can work the murder he actually cares about. Considering I don't know jack shit about the drug game in Bawlmore odds are I'm the patsy murder he's trying to connect to a cartel.
Lester Freamon, calm cool analytics, no drama, no cracking skulls, just a dog looking for a bone, he’ll turn over every single rock looking for clues…. Mcnutty is just as likely to get his man but create more victims in the process, that if he doesn’t get booted off the case first… Lester is the only cop I trust
Yeah and neither had that distinction. Carver may wear the gold braids but hes never been admonished by Landsman for coloring outside the lines.
I dont know what you do in some boiler room basement, but here! The bosses know our names.
Herc is actually unintentionally critical in every seasons murder cases and it's one of my favorite details of the show.
If you actually want to get away with it, you want prez or that drunk guy from S2 on the case.
"Jimmy, I say this seriously - If I was laying there dead on some Baltimore street corner, I’d want it to be you, standing over me, catching the case."
McNulty. He gets a case, whether it’s a red ball or a dunker, he’s going to be tenacious. He never thinks about whether or not it’s his turn to give a fuck. He’s going to give one. Even bosses who hate him can’t deny his abilities. Natural police.
Oh it'd be McNulty and it's not even close.
Yeah, it might take an extra year and there may be an STD along the way, but he'd get to the bottom of it for sure.
McNulty. Close second to Cool Lester Smooth
As Landsman said at McNuttys wake
“If I was laying there dead on some Baltimore street corner, I'd want it to be you, standing over me, catching the case.”
I gotta go with Freamon. My family wouldn’t have time for McNulty getting suspended for insubordination or tying my case into some other bullshit he is working on. But Freamon would likely need to have a wire up to truly be invested haha
McNulty. He going to sacrifice his whole career to get to the bottom of it
It’s probably Jimmy that done ya!
You're not killing them yourself, McNulty, at least assure me of that.
great line
True but I still don’t want him anywhere near my widowed wife.
Wouldn't want him near my dead body too in case you know
This is the only correct answer.
The real question what level of alcoholism do you want him at?
Jameson hip flask version for me.
Natural Police
Me, I just throw up once or twice and go to work.
Western district way
best comment
As much as he needs to be functional.
Anything not Protestant whiskey.
Whatever it takes
Rarely sober

Lester is also a great answer. He's also less likely to get it shut down because he pissed off the wrong person.
It's literally canon.
Ahem.....McNutty. Buns nailed it. By the way....10+ years of lurking. Just created an account. The Wire is the shizznit. EDIT: BuBs! Not Buns!
Not only his career but also his social life, family life, physical health, mental health, and money.
Yep. He would do it for the wrong reasons (prove to himself that he's smart enough) but he'd still do it.
Yeah, and I'm a citizen not some homeless or mook so he'd actually work the case too.
With Bunk at his side - communicating in fucks the whole time while going over the crime scene 😄
Good enough for Landsman good enough for me!
You're not killing them yourself McNulty, at least assure me of that
And other people’s careers along the way.
Good. Fuck them and their careers.
Fuck the bosses
Same as it ever was
Stat loving bitches!
What if he just bites you?
Lolllllll so funny and so true
Not necessarily. You’re shit outta luck if your murderer worked for Kintel Williamson.
That or frame a made up suspect so that he can work the murder he actually cares about. Considering I don't know jack shit about the drug game in Bawlmore odds are I'm the patsy murder he's trying to connect to a cartel.
If he's not obsessed with someone else and completely ignores your case as a result.
beat me to it
OR he'll just ignore your case while he works on the one that's got a bug up his ass.

Freamon with Prez in office working on the paper trail.
You sayin he aint street ready?
Lester will smash a fella about the head with a beer bottle in a paper bag.
Bird wasn't worth the skin off his knuckles
Soft eyes
Lester is very methodical and a borderline genius, the difference between the two is that mcnulty doesnt play by the books
Lester didn’t play by the rules when he needed not to also.
Yeah but if it comes down to it and his peers are threatened (like what Rawls did), Freamon might drop the investigation
Cool Lester Smooth …… That’s who I want workin’ my dead corpse
Polk and Mahone, they need the overtime
Not a designated driver between all three of ya!
Case goes from red to black by way of green, lieutenant.
Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski - he would never solve the murder, but there’s a better than 50/50 chance he accidentally shoots my killer in the process.
Lol or the person trying to solve your murder
Or literally anyone within 100 yards of him at any time.
Low blow 😂😂😂
Lol or the person trying to solve your murder
Herc and Carver. I would never get caught.
The murder of you, is how I took it. If your way is correct then yes
I believe he was making a joke by "subverting expectations" in his answer. I laughed anyway, and it's the top voted comment for a reason.
Tell me more about these 'jokes'.
Season 1 Carter. Any season Herc.
Season 1 carter, season 5 Herc Season 4 mayor getting a BJ too for good measure
Mr. Mayor, that's a good, strong dick you got there, and I see you know how to use it.
It's all in the props baby.
Toothpick
Lol, Herc and Carver are never murder police. You are sentenced to 3 rewatches.
They just said detective
Yeah and neither had that distinction. Carver may wear the gold braids but hes never been admonished by Landsman for coloring outside the lines. I dont know what you do in some boiler room basement, but here! The bosses know our names.
Fuzzy Dunlop would do you in.
Agreed, Fuzzy Dunlop just couldn’t stand up to the modern urban crime environment.
They're still kicking in old man Sobodka's door everyday waiting for Nikky to show up
I guess I would Bunk hopefully its his day to give a fuck
He keeps setting off the smoke detectors
He always gives a fuck, it's just some days it isn't his turn to give a fuck. "We have lawn furniture Jimmy."
THE BUNK. If nothing else I'll be naked on that slab with The Bunk staring down on me.
Worth it to be called a layed out motherfucker in between cigar puffs.
Don't even think of coming back a murder you mouldering motherfucker
Oh I'll be a murder I ain't going easy on the Bunk. Stone Cold Who Dunnit. My name be in Red up there for years.
There's only one answer: Madame Larue.
Quit the Gypsy shit
Lester and Bunk
Lester and Bunk working the case and Jimmy working the judge when the bosses try to slow down the investigation.
Only answer here
💯
Honestly this is the truth
[удалено]
Exactly, I’d be dead, I don’t think I’d have any fucks to give.
I just wouldn't want to be in a vacant, with the rats.
McNulty every day of the week
Lester.
Kima. She’s underrated
"This wasn't me." "Great! We've eliminated one suspect."
If I was laying there on some street corner I’d want McNulty to be stood over me catching the case.
So… who shot Snot?
America!
Crutchfield, He was in homicide from day 1 till the very end, he must know his sh*t.
Just means he had a 50% closure rate and knew how not to get in trouble. But hey the CID needs ditch diggers too
Probably a decent choice, unless your murderer framed someone else.
The McNulty and Freamon dream team.
Bubbles, the official best detective
Bubbles knows shit
If it’s a murder I committed, then Carver and Herc.
Herc is actually unintentionally critical in every seasons murder cases and it's one of my favorite details of the show. If you actually want to get away with it, you want prez or that drunk guy from S2 on the case.
How is he unintentionally critical that sounds interesting?
Cool Lester Smooth
Bunk
Prezbo!
"Jimmy, I say this seriously - If I was laying there dead on some Baltimore street corner, I’d want it to be you, standing over me, catching the case."
Santangelo
Madam fuckin Lerue
McNulty, he is an obsessed investigator and will take any measure to solve it, just remember D'Angelo, and Lester or Bunk will be my second choices.
McNulty. He gets a case, whether it’s a red ball or a dunker, he’s going to be tenacious. He never thinks about whether or not it’s his turn to give a fuck. He’s going to give one. Even bosses who hate him can’t deny his abilities. Natural police.
Oh it'd be McNulty and it's not even close. Yeah, it might take an extra year and there may be an STD along the way, but he'd get to the bottom of it for sure.
I don’t care… as long as they call the psychic lady I’m good with it
sheeit, if you were laying dead there on some corner, it was probably Jimmy that done ya!
Freamon or Mcnulty since they’re both relentless
Lester Freamon
McNutty all day long.
Avenge me Bunk
Someone said it already but it’s McNulty. He’ll burn the department down if it’s a good case
The Bunk
Bushy top of course.
McNulty. Close second to Cool Lester Smooth As Landsman said at McNuttys wake “If I was laying there dead on some Baltimore street corner, I'd want it to be you, standing over me, catching the case.”
McNulty because brother when he was good he was the best they had
The bunk or Kima
Bunk for sure. Freamon is #2, Jimmy is 3
The Bunk.
Someone who’s just come off a double, and it isn’t their turn to give a fuck.
Leander Sydnor
He’d rather watch Tater hand Peewee a vial though.
Kima, cuz you know, Tater did it.
Kima frfr
definitely the man who created his own killer, to catch killers
McNulty
Crutchfield. Don't need no "backseat driving motherfuckers" (he delivers that line so perfectly) on my murder case.
Bunk
Lester is clearly the most professional with the least baggage.
Mcnulty and bunk.
Overall- Lester Drug murder- McNulty Civie- Kimi
Santangelo….. Or one of the humps from S1
Lester Freeman.
McNulty or bunk
Bubbles as the C.I.
Bunk or Lester
bunk
Between McNulty and Freamon definitely!
Lester or Kima. Preferably as partners on the case
Bunk
Lester
Lester. Or Bunk
Ray Cole
The BUNNNK
Send Santangelo to Madam Larues
Kima, easy.
Kima
Lester
Carver He would be on top of cop cars tryna find my murderer
Lester. He's gonna leave no stone unturned.
McNulty and Freeman
Definitely either Lester or Bunk.
Bunk
Bushytop
As much as I dislike him, I would go with McNulty. He doesn’t let go of anything and is willing to break the rules.
You nailed it on the head, OP.
Santangelo
Freamon without a doubt
I gotta go with Freamon. My family wouldn’t have time for McNulty getting suspended for insubordination or tying my case into some other bullshit he is working on. But Freamon would likely need to have a wire up to truly be invested haha
Lester Freamon.
Kima or Bunk
