Michael Moore Says it’s Time to ‘Disarm the Police’

05.01.2015 | News | Alicia Powe |

Liberal film director Michael Moore lamented what he sees as America’s mistreatment of black citizens through a series of tweets to his 1.83 million followers on Thursday.

The “Fahrenheit 9/11” director demanded that America’s police officers be disarmed and all African-Americans imprisoned for non-violent crimes be released.

Moore’s tweets come amid days of rioting in Baltimore ubiquitously in response to the death of Freddy Gray. More than 200 people were arrested in clashes with police Monday and Tuesday and more than a dozen officers injured.

Moore, known for his virulently anti-gun film Bowling for Columbine, on Thursday also hypocritically endorsed the 2nd-Amendment and widespread private gun ownership.

“Guns are for hunters…and cowards,” Moore has previously said.

Imprison u, shoot u, sever your spine, crush your larynx, send u to war, keep u poor, call u a thug, not let u vote. But u can sing for us.

Here’s my demand: I want every African-American currently incarcerated for drug “crimes” or nonviolent offenses released from prison today. — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) April 30, 2015

And the rest who r imprisoned- I dont believe 50% of them did what they’re accused of. Lies. Greed. A modern day slave system. Poor whites 2

Next demand: Disarm the police. We have a 1/4 billion 2nd amendment guns in our homes 4 protection. We’ll survive til the right cops r hired — Michael Moore (@MMFlint) April 30, 2015

Local cops now militarized. Founding Fathers said NO army policing on our soil. Why do cops have tanks? Oh, right – the Enemy: The Black Man

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. responded to filmmaker Michael Moore’s “demand” with a great idea.

@nranews @MMFlint Start pilot project by doing it in his neighborhood. Set up transitional inmate housing where he lives. — David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) April 30, 2015
