Go down to the City Housing Department and get a picture of Barksdale. They bring back a picture of a middle-aged white guy. “Maybe he’s white” Kima says, and she and McNulty laugh. She lists off what they have on Barksdale - just a DOB and that he’s clean and once made “Golden Gloves”.  Freeman’s ears pick up at this, and he starts digging around.  Then does that total badass thing with the poster. Storyline 2: Daniels and the Politics Daniels attends a meeting with the Commissioner following the fallout from Prez being an idiot.  We first meet Valchek - his father-in-law, a complete slime.
