Oscar "Rick" Requer is a former detective of the Baltimore Police Department.
Requer joined the department in 1964 as a Western District patrolman who would eventually move into the department’s Homicide Unit. He was featured working under Sergeant Jay Landsman and Lieutenant Gary D'Addario whose Homicide unit was featured in David Simon's Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets book. An African American, Requer’s investigative skills earned him a position in the BPD’s Criminal Investigation Division during a time period in which African American officers were still subject to racial harassment in the district roll call rooms. Requer would later man the retirement services bureau before retiring in 2007 and would provide inspiration for fictional Detective Bunk Moreland of the HBO Drama The Wire.
A character named "Oscar Requer" appeared in the "Transitions" episode on the fifth season of The Wire. The fictional Oscar Requer was a patrolman working a night shift and a former partner of detective Lester Freamon, and was played by Roscoe Orman.
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy
I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, to me
