Far-left filmmaker Michael Moore issued two big demands on Thursday: disarm police officers and release “every African-American currently incarcerated” for drug crimes or non-violent offenses.

Moore also seemingly endorsed the Second Amendment for "protection." He wrote, “We have a 1/4 billion 2nd amendment guns in our homes 4 protection. We'll survive til the right cops r hired.”
Going even further, Moore suggested that as many as 50 percent of people who are imprisoned are actually innocent. Read his full Twitter rant:
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

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

Moore’s comments appear to be in response to the death of Freddie Gray, who died of serious spine injury while in police custody. Violent riots erupted in the city on Monday, resulting in a mandatory, week-long 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. curfew.
