 Filmmaker Michael Moore on Thursday called for the release of all blacks jailed on drug sentences to be released, and for the police to be disarmed. 
 
 “Here’s my demand: I want every African-American currently incarcerated for drug ‘crimes’ or non-violent offenses released from prison today,” Moore tweeted.

 “Next demand: Disarm the police,” he continued. 
 
 Moore’s tweets were in response to the rioting in Baltimore earlier this week, which was triggered by the death in police custody of a 25-year-old black man. 
 
 “We have ¼ billion 2nd Amendment guns in our homes 4 protection,” Moore wrote. “We’ll survive til the right cops r hired.” 
 
 The “Fahrenheit 9/11” director additionally accused national law enforcement of practicing racial discrimination against blacks. 
 
 “And the rest who r imprisoned – I don’t believe 50 percent did what they’re accused of,” Moore tweeted. 
 
 “Lies, greed, a modern day slave system,” he added. “Poor whites 2.” 
 
 Moore argued “local cops now militarized” upheld this system of oppression. This status quo, he continued, undermines America’s deepest values. 
 
 “Founding Fathers said NO army policing our soil,” the filmmaker charged. 
 
 “Why do cops have tanks?” he asked. “Oh right – the Enemy: The Black Man.” 
 
 Moore also listed a summary of alleged grievances perpetrated by police departments against minority communities, especially blacks. 
 
 “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,” he tweeted. 
 
 “But u can sing for us,” Moore finished. 
 
 The director’s screed was in response to violent protests in Baltimore earlier this week. 
 
 Riots erupted Monday over the death of Freddie Gray. Baltimore police on Tuesday arrested 235 people after confrontations in the streets. 
 
 The city additionally imposed a curfew between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. that will last through the end of the week.
– Michael Moore isn't big on incremental solutions. In a series of tweets today that keep gathering steam, Moore called for the disarming of police and for the release of all black prisoners jailed for drug crimes or non-violent offenses, reports the Hill. He likened prison to a "modern day slave system." Three of the tweets: "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." "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" The reaction is coming down pretty much the way you'd expect, with Moore's fans and enemies retweeting in a frenzy. Conservative site The Blaze makes sure to highlight this tweeted response from Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr.: "Start pilot project by doing it in his neighborhood. Set up transitional inmate housing where he lives."
