One of the most on the nose scenes in the Wire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6r2a2PaQPI

The conversation (copied from IMDB)

Detective James 'Jimmy' McNulty : Guy leaves two dozen bodies scattered all over the city, no one gives a fuck.

Detective Lester Freamon : It's because who he dropped.

Detective William 'Bunk' Moreland : True that. You can go a long way in this country killin' black folk. Young males especially. Misdemeanor homicides.

Detective James 'Jimmy' McNulty : If Marlo was killin' white women...

Detective Lester Freamon : White children.

Detective William 'Bunk' Moreland : Tourists.

Detective James 'Jimmy' McNulty : One white ex-cheerleader tourist missin' in Aruba.

Detective William 'Bunk' Moreland : Trouble is, this ain't Aruba, bitch.

Detective Lester Freamon : You think that if 300 white people were killed in this city every year, they wouldn't send the 82nd Airborne? Negro, please.

That is a great phrase I missed: "Misdemeanor Homicide".
