Boycott Against Anti-Cop Tarantino’s ‘Hateful Eight’ Spreads to Los Angeles

“I’m a human being with a conscience”, Tarantino said, according to the Associated Press. “The police officers that Quentin Tarantino calls “murderers” aren’t living in one of his depraved big screen fantasies – they’re risking and sometimes sacrificing their lives to protect communities from real crime and mayhem”, Lynch said.

“Film director Quentin Tarantino took irresponsibility to a new and completely unacceptable level this past weekend by referring to police as murderers during an anti-police march in New York”, Lally’s statement said.

The Philly FOP added that New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch has also called for a similar boycott.

Tarantino has yet to respond to the criticism.

Then, on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Police Protective Union’s president offered support for the New York boycott, noting that Tarantino’s remarks came four days after NYPD Officer Randolph Holder was fatally shot in a gun battle with a man who was being pursued.

His next film, The Hateful Eight, comes out in December. Gory and violent as it is, Quentin Tarantino’s rich cinematic world is usually governed by a strong sense of justice.

The New Jersey State PBA (NJSPBA) today announced a boycott of the movies of Quentin Tarantino, the irreverent, violence-loving Blockbuster store clerk turned award-winning director of Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained.

“To Tarantino, who lives in a world of his own, facts don’t matter”, O’Reilly said.

Of course, violence and retribution in the Tarantino world is excessive to the point of being nonrealistic, and nearly everything happens very far outside the confines of the law. A union affiliated with the Los Angeles Police Department has reportedly endorsed the boycott as well.

Monday night’s episode of “The Kelly File” on Fox News got heated during an exchange between retired detective Mark Fuhrman and Carl Dix, an anti-police brutality activist. Should be a good one.
