Quentin Tarantino doubles down on controversial remarks about police

“I guess selfishly I look at it and said, ‘S**t, this is the biggest part you’ve ever written for me and now you ain’t going to make the movie?’ And he’s like, ‘Ah don’t worry, I’ll just write another one'”. Quentin Tarantino speaks at a New York anti-police brutality protest on 24 October.

“I love my son and have great respect for him as an artist but he is dead wrong in calling police officers, particularly in New York City where I grew up, murderers”, said actor Tony Tarantino in a statement.

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times on Tuesday, Tarantino responded that he has been condemned by New York police Commissioner William Bratton and a number of police groups, such as the National Association of Police Organizations. The premiere to which Pasco refers is the Christmas Day release of Tarantino’s new film, “The Hateful Eight”.

Tarantino, however, has gotten a shout-out of support from another controversial filmmaker, Michael Moore, who wrote on Instagram that certain police officers are “out to get Tarantino”.

“I know what a murdered is and so do the hundreds of thousands of men and women in blue and we, Mr. Tarantino, are not murderers”. Quentin says he never even implied such a thing.

“When I see murders, I do not stand by …”

He adds that by “singling him out”, the attention on the issues of police brutality would be shifted to him by implying that he is a “cop hater”.

Pasco said the “surprise” is in addition to boycotting the director’s forthcoming feature and “is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element”. “Instead of dealing with the incidents of police brutality that those people were bringing up, instead of examining the problem of police brutality in this country, better they single me out”.

Mortenson told HuffPost Live the boycott is a “smokescreen” to avoid getting into the underlying causes of police officers who abuse their authority.

Tarantino argued that the goal of those against him is to intimidate him into silence.

As for whether the threats of boycott are rattling the distributor of “The Hateful Eight”, the Weinstein Co., Tarantino said it’s probably “a pain in the butt” for the company but concluded, “They stand behind me”.
