Tarantino to discuss police boycott of his films on MSNBC

The network made the announcement via Twitter. “I never said. I never even implied that”, he told the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Wednesday.

At an anti-police brutality rally in New York last month, Tarantino said he was “on the side of the murdered”.

After Tarantino’s appearance on MSNBC, Sheriff Clarke tweeted, “I never mentioned his name on Fox”. He further explained the goal of the boycott, “their message is very clear”. It’s to shut me down. It’s to discredit me. “And just because I was at an anti-police brutality protest doesn’t mean I’m anti-police”.

He also cited examples of cop killings, such as the cases of Walter Scott and Sam DuBose, and said, “In those cases in particular that we’re talking about, I actually do believe that they were murdered…”

Police unions in New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia subsequently issued separate statements calling for a boycott of his films.

Since his rousing speech, a few cops and their supporters have stated that they would boycott Tarantino’s upcoming film Hateful Eight.

At the rally, Tarantino called a few police officers “murderers”, and while he stood by the crux of those comments, he fine-tuned his rationale on MSNBC. I have to call the murdered the murdered. “He uses racial comments, bigotry, anti-Semitic remarks, and every movie of his has a police officer getting shot – and this is Hollywood”.

“Shame on him, there are no words to describe the content I have for him and his comments”, Bratton said.

Quentin Tarantino became an enemy of the NYPD and other cops who viewed his siding with anti-police brutality protesters as a slap in the face.

“I know what a murderer is and so do the hundreds of thousands of men and women in blue and we, Mr. Tarantino, are not murderers”.

“Quentin Tarantino, a courageous and good American, standing with families who’ve lost loved ones to police violence”, wrote Moore. It’s time for a boycott of Quentin Tarantino’s films.

“They want to slander me and imply I’m saying things I didn’t say”.

“I’m not being intimidated”, Tarantino said.
