Why did the show just contradict itself like this?
Excuse me, but how exactly did you watch 60 or so episodes of this show? How were you not prepared for something like that in the end?
The Wire always aimed to be as realistic as possible and to closely mimic real life. Some even criticized it for being too real. And because of this, the show is really special. The way the writers don't sensationalize anything. They never play sentimental music over a scene, or try to build up to some grand climax, or try to direct our sympathies or make us feel a certain way. They just show things as they happen.
Even when a monumental character like Omar dies, it's not built up with some big battle with stupid epic music playing, he doesn't give us a big long eulogy. Just, 'BAM!' That's it. Dead. His death changes nothing, means nothing, and yet we're more distraught by it than any character is. Fuck. What a great show.
Maybe we didn't watch the same version?

Stan was really petty and it showed trying to one up Sabotka. When his case against Sabotka grew into the whole drug/human trafficking ring he through a hissy fit.

Wait, you think that part wasn't realistic? Do you realize how fucking petty and vindictive people with even a modicum of power can be?
