"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 -- to 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 401Ks, 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 as and we are you. Join us. It's fun. We'll even let you beat on a bongo drum." -- Michael Moore on Lawrence O'Donnell's The very Last Word, Friday, October 14th, 2011
