Michael Moore on Friday called for police departments across the country to join the Occupy Wall Street protests "the same way the Egyptian army joined the people in Freedom Square there in Cairo."
"My appeal to the police is you are us and we are you," Moore said in a web only video published at MSNBC.com. "We’ll even let you beat on a bongo drum" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MICHAEL MOORE: My last word here out in the hallway just outside of [Lawrence O’Donnell’s] studio is that the police need to join us. In the same way the Egyptian army joined the people in Freedom Square there in Cairo. This is my appeal to the New York Police Department, the police departments all over the country. You are working class people. You’re not paid enough. You have the most dangerous job in the country, and these rich bastards on Wall Street they have ruined your 401(k)s, your pension funds, your future, your children’s future. Money that should be going to having better law enforcement has gone to needless wars in other lands.
So, my appeal to the police is you are us and we are you, and join us. It’s fun. We’ll even let you beat on a bongo drum. That’s my last word. Thank you.
So a man whose estimated net worth is $50 million is not only inciting people all around the country to rise up against some of America's largest corporations, he is now calling on law enforcement officials to join them.
What could go wrong?
by all means, police, join the people who are crapping on your cars (rolling eyes)
Michael Moore has been asked to join the protests to make the crowd size to look much larger.
If you hadn’t thought this guy was an idiot. You have incontrovertible proof.
Whatever. Laughable. Noel Sheppard has a very bad habit of giving dingbat madness more light than they would otherwise see.

And by the way, this is NOT newsbusting.
This is getting all excited about something you read and posting it on the Internet. That was NOT the point of newsbusters.
ROTFLMAO
Michael Moore needs to OCCUPY A SALAD BAR.
Does he plan to also burn churches and kill Christians?
I have a better idea - how about Michael Moore joins Jenny Craig and shuts the hell up?

The NYPD can’t wait to get in there to apply their wooden shampoos. Michael Moore is NOT a New Yorker despite his multi-millionaire pad - and does not understand the essentially conservative force that makes up our beloved police force. These men and women remember what happened on 9/11 and are sickened by the proximity of that sacred place to the out-of-towners fleabaggers of Zuccotti Park.
The Egyptian police never joined the revolution. To the last they were accused of detaining and torturing Mubarek opponents. Once again, a lefty is allowed to distort history.
Hey fat ass, how bout sending some of that last million dollar taxpayer subsidy back to the people of Michigan.
How come Michael Moore’s lard ass isn’t out sleeping in the street with these idiots?
“Michael Moore needs to OCCUPY A SALAD BAR.”
Michael Moore needs to occupy a crypt.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
I won’t post what I call upon the police to do in response.
