Avon went along with Stringer while being questioned by Brianna because Avon knows that Stringer may have saved them all by taking D'Angelo out because it would only take 1 bad moment for D'Angelo to get to snitching his way out of Prison & into the witness protecting program that he wanted from the beginning.

The botched Omar hit was really on Avon & Slim Charles because that was Avon's play to go to the City Records Hall & pay Fat Face Rick's sister for information on Omar's family members.
Avon gave the assignment to Slim & then Slim assigned the most delicate of jobs to the 2 most incompetent soldiers in their ranks & then when they did the most competent thing which was to call Slim Charles (their immediate Supervisor) Slim didn't answer the call.
If Slim had the day off then they should've had the day off & if they didn't have the day off then they should've been directed on what to do if they see Omar on Sunday which should've been to wait and do Recon by following Omar to find out where he's laying his head then that way
B & B (Slim Charles) could hit him at midnight Monday morning.
Stringer made the call to shoot because he wasn't told about the Grandmother at all & Stringer is coming off of being told that he might not be hard enough for the streets. Ignoring the Sunday truce rule to get rid of a nuisance that broke the rules first by taking the witness stand against Bird is understandable which is why Stringer said, I hear the cocksucker's name & I ain't thinking bout no church day then Avon understood.

This episode is ANOTHER reason why I have NEVER liked the Omar character.
Omar punk arse put his grandmother in mortal danger by diving in the cab WITH her INSTEAD OF running the OPPOSITE direction AWAY FROM the cab when he spotted the shooters.
Omar is a piece of shite that causes his own problems then cries revenge once his actions have consequences coming his way.
🖕🏾Omar Little punk arse

Did y'all catch the line where McNulty name drops one of the Creators of THE WIRE, Ed Burns during their conversation about how many Detectives can bring in the kind of cases that the detail brings in?

I guess they're commenting about some cops. Could be good people who are inept and can't deal with stress and pull their gun. Also there's cops who are just itching to fire. Prez, like some people, should have never been a cop and, like hinted at in Season 2, he might have been pressured into it by family.

There's 3 times in the entire show we actually see a cop firing a gun. Every time it's Prez, he shoots the wall in the basement, randomly shoots into the towers upper floors, and kills Waggoner..
Plus the off-screen situation where he shot up his own car.

Prez should just never have access to a gun. Literally every time he does, some fuckery is sure to ensue.

The actor for Prez did an incredible job. The look on his face when he realises he's killed a cop. It's like you can see his stomach drop. Like he knows that his life as he knows it is OVER.

Yep! The thing with the Wire, is you have to watch episodes a bunch of times. The details are super subtle but they cover everything. Most shows beat you over the head with stuff things and make it obvious, whereas the Wire makes you work for it. Its much more gratifying imo.

it was implied last episode that omar moved on from the barksdales when his crew showed their lick from the east side boys they jacked. one of them said 'them east side boys wasn't ready for us' and if you remember, barksdales are westside.
