If, and it's a BIG if, they can get this takedown of the Stansfield crew to stick it plays very well for Carcetti in terms of political aspirations - he can say when attacked on not delivering the 10+% dip in violent crime: "we didn't try to do meaningless arrests just to get good stats, I had my people concentrating on major players, etc."
Thought about this episode more as I drove to work this morning. Basically in Simon's Baltimore you see that a lot of people, i.e. Levy, Davis make tons of money on things being the way they are: whenever that is the case those people obviously have a vested interest in things remaining just as they are, regardless of the misery it causes...kind of like Blackwater and Halliburton in Iraq.
Certainly not outside the realm of possibility that Levy wanted Herc to give Marlo's new phone number to the cops?
