Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore is attacking America’s criminal justice system this morning.
Here's my demand: I want every African-American currently incarcerated for drug "crimes" or nonviolent offenses released from prison today.

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

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

It is true that a long list of black Americans have hit it big in Hollywood — not just singers but actors, writers, comedians, and rappers. Some of those entertainers, such as Dr. Dre and Oprah Winfrey, have parlayed their fame into very profitable businesses. Blacks have also made strides in other areas of American life during the last 150 years, including politics and non-entertainment-related business.
America’s inner cities are dysfunctional — crime, poverty, unemployment, and drugs are endemic — but likening the current situation to a “slave system” is absurd. And disarming the police is one of Moore’s dumbest ideas ever — and that’s really saying something.

Wait! You've been screaming for years we shouldn't have guns because the police do! @MMFlint

@MMFlint Good idea, lard ass. Leave the decent people in Balt, Chi, and other Dem hell-holes at the mercy of the violent thugs you support!

@MMFlint Soooo… Release the inmates and then disarm the police. This could not possibly go terribly wrong very quickly.

Exit question:
@MMFlint how about they all get released in your neighborhood? Still for it?
