Moore: Disarm the Police, Release Black Drug Offenders from Prison
— Michael Moore April 30, 2015
“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 are imprisoned- I don’t believe 50% of them did what they're accused of. Lies. Greed. A modern day slave system. Poor whites also.
Next demand: Disarm the police. We have a 1/4 billion 2nd amendment guns in our homes 4 protection. We'll survive until the right cops are 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”
— Michael Moore April 30, 2015
We need an national Blue-Flu epidemic.
48-60 hours of EVERY Law Enforcement Officer to be out sick. We have spilt our blood, risked our lives and friends have paid the ultimate sacrifice to an EXTREMELY ungrateful public. I didn’t do the job for a pat on the back but I didn’t think every tour would be a trip into an enemy zone.
They think they can do better, step up in our absence.
The essence of John Galt and his plan to stop the motor of the world: tell men of the mind, like himself, to go on strike against the collectivistic system that thanklessly exploited them.
“Happiness is possible only to a rational man, the man who desires nothing but rational goals, seek nothing but rational values and finds his joy in nothing but rational actions.”

Crimes (laws and penalties) are not directed by the police but the legislature. Talk with, vote for politics that support the issues.
Police enforce that which they are directed. No busts for pot in CO!
I’m for open-carry, an armed society is a polite society.
The escalation (equipment arms race) has been in response to threats presented against the police, not by the police to tread over.
There are now swat raids on relatively low threat situations because if you have a swat team and they have lots of stuff you use them instead of knocking on the door.

That said, he should be thankful that people like me have served to allow him to spew his bulls*it without fear.

"Here's my demand: I want every African-American current incarcerated for drug "crimes" or nonviolent offense release from prison today."
I agree with Moore on this, as long as we do the same for all races. It's not a racial issue.
" Disarm the police. We have a 1/4 billion 2nd amendment guns in our homes 4 protection. We'll survive until the right cops are hired. "
I agree with the basic idea of this too. Part of the reason for the 2nd Amendment is b/c a free people need to be grownups and have their right to protect themselves respected. I agree with having the average police officer investing petty crimes armed with the same weapons citizens can legally carry. If there's a specific threat, they can bring out high-power weapons, but I do not think police need guns to investigate routine petty crimes.
"Local cops now militarized. Founding Fathers said NO army policing on our soil. Why do cops have tanks?"
I agree with Moore on this too, except for the part about race. Let's demilitarize the police to how they were in the past when SWAT raids were for rare emergencies like hostage situations.
We live in a world where terrorists are turning up on every streetcorner. In France, many of the police do not even have guns. In the USA, I want the police to have All the Toys their little hearts desire so that they can act as local forces to put down people whom I consider to be enemies.
The trick, of course, is to limit 'enemies' to that definition.

Release drug crimes/non violent offense - Not all drug crimes are the same. Users are one thing, dealers are something else, particularly when they have been convicted with weapons use/violations as well. Also, do you want all the habitual drunk drivers out on the roads as well? Release them in Michael Moore's neighborhood, or yours if you want them out so bad.
Disarm the police, we have guns in our homes ...
Not in most cities, heavy gun control disarms the law abiding. Gives the criminals the opportunity to do whatever they like in gun free areas. e.g. New York City, most big cities for that matter and some states like New Jersey or Pennsylvania.
For a lot of the populace the police, even though they are a reaction force, and flawed though they may be, are the only help they have.
Local cops now militarized Why do cops have tanks?
Do they? cite where and when.
MRAPS are not tanks, nor are APCs.
Would you object to armored cars like Loomis or Wells Fargo uses to transport money?
These are not "nonviolent offenses".
"heavy gun control disarms the law abiding. "
Right, but I'm saying to stop the gun control and respect people's 2nd Amendment right instead of giving guns just to police.
"Local cops now militarized Why do cops have tanks? Do they?"
Armored vehicles that police shoot from, although not with external guns controlled from inside, are close to being tanks. This is the opposite of traditional policing with police patrolling neighborhoods they know, interacting with citizens, and only bringing out armored vehicles for special situations.
People have a second amendment right. That does not mean a particular jurisdiction respects that right. Failing to acknowledge that many areas have disarmed the law abiding populace through regulation is ignoring REALITY. The solution to that is not disarming the police, that only leads to ONLY the non law abiding having guns.
Calling any vehicle with armor a tank is hyperbole, plain and simple. They are not even close to being tanks. If the police were going around in tanks it would be all over the news. Not to mention tearing up the roads, damage which is not something easy to hide or overlook.
Then again, I wonder what he's got in armed body guards hanging around. It's so ironic, they yell fair share, then don't pay their taxes. They want everyone to disarm, but have armed body guards. They want the government to force us to share the wealth, yet they do little for charity themselves. As long as it's someone else's money they contribute. Look at the Clinton Foundation, what a great place to work, good pay and benefits, little goes to the cause and majority of the bucks go to benefit the founders and their hand selected staff of friends and relatives.
The unprotected, the liberals and poor, would be met with widespread looting and oppression.
Doesn't seem like a typical Moore objective, but please do let it play out with full authorship from teletubby-boy, along with addresses and maps to his homes. (I may need some new furnishings)
Anyone that says otherwise need to from first principles show that legitimate government has any ethical justification for such laws and practices.
I have doubts about the authenticity of the quote, though, because MM is not a 2nd Amendment supporter, and he knows very well that most Americans who have guns at home are not on his side. If Ferguson or Baltimore had happened after the police were disarmed, I believe the property owners would have killed the looters very quickly -- and I'd be all in favor of that result, but Moore would not.

To succeed, a slave system would have to turn a profit.
That may work by exploiting North Korean citizens.

As a corrections officer, part of my annual advanced training consisted of ways to keep the Alabama DOC and myself from getting sued.
Personally, I was sued three times within my 21 years..
Fortunately, the local federal court tossed out all three as frivolous before I had to show up anywhere.
Psst! One inmate sued me for having the audacity of writing him up after he kicked me in the butt while I had my hands full struggling with another inmate.
How terrible of me!
"I don't know Beav, maybe he thinks mass killing of free speech devotees is a good thing."
Every one released must live with Moore, and Moore is 100% accountable and responsible for them financially for one year after their release. AND if they commit a crime, Moore must spend time in each ones cell until they do their time.
