Filmmaker Michael Moore is calling on the nation to “end policing as we know it” following the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

“YES!! In handcuffs! Now on to the work!. All of us demand an end to white supremacy and white privilege. How many innocent black and brown ppl are in prison?” Moore tweeted on Tuesday.

He added, “Free them all! Arrest all police who break the law. Remove all racist cops. End policing as we know it. It doesn’t work.”

YES!!
In handcuffs!
Now on to the work!.
All of us demand an end to white supremacy and white privilege.
How many innocent black and brown ppl are in prison? Free them all! Arrest all police who break the law. Remove all racist cops. End policing as we know it. It doesn’t work.

Moore also took to Twitter to acknowledge Darnella Frazier for filming the viral video of what happened to George Floyd.

“Darnella Frazier. Thank you. As a brave 17-year old standing on that curb in Minneapolis, you took out your phone and hit record. You changed the world,” Moore wrote.

He continued, “No film in our time has been more important than yours. Now the rise-up, the fight, moves quickly forward. Thank you, Darnella.”

Moore’s comments come a little more than a week after Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) declared “policing in our country is inherently and intentionally racist” following the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, a Black man, by a police officer in Minnesota, as IJR reported.

Tlaib tweeted, “No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed.”

Detroit Police Chief James Craig pushed back against Tlaib’s comments, calling them “reckless” and “disgusting,” as IJR reported.

“This is about her putting attention to herself. That’s exactly what it’s designed to do,” Craig said during an appearance on CNN.

He continued, “To make statements like ‘abolish policing,’ ‘abolish incarceration’ certainly is counterproductive.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called Wright’s death “the repeated outcome of an indefensible system,” adding, “Cameras, chokehold bans, ‘retraining’ funds, and similar reform measures do not ultimately solve what is a systemic problem.”
