The Shield Horses

Yesterday on Twitter, Slate.com posted an article about a particularly interesting hashtag on Twitter - names of derby horses based on the critically acclaimed cop show, "The Wire". The residents (and staff) think the program is just a little bit too hard to follow and prefer "The Shield." Film and TV critic, Arch Cannon, said, "The Shield" is just complicated enough for me. Plus, people get beat up more, and that's just great."
