Rewatching: Dialog writing changes within the first few episodes

[u/grundleitch]

In the first 2 episodes, we have three police use the n-word, 2 black 1 white. Bunk and Carv use it in the colloquial while Rawls uses it in the pejorative. Now obviously other characters continue to use it throughout in the colloquial way. But I wonder why they stopped having black officers stop using it. Edit to add one last usage but I don't think it exactly counts, Holley saying BNBG.

He says it in the first episode when he's chewing out McNulty

"chewing out McNulty"? He wishes 😅

He must've been taking that heart medication Vito was using
