Police union threatens 'surprise' for Quentin Tarantino

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, whose participation in a NY police brutality protest has sparked controversy and a boycott of his movies, defended his recent comments on MSNB's All In with Chris Hayes.

Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, would not go into any detail about what is being cooked up for the Hollywood director, but he did tell THR: "We'll be opportunistic".

'I am a human being with a conscience and when I see murder I cannot stand by and I have to call the murdered the murdered.’ Tarantino said at the Rise Up October protest march. "I'm here to say I'm on the side of the murdered".

"Police officers protect people", Pasco replied.

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

Quentin Tarantino is being targeted unfairly by police, in Michael Moore's opinion. PIX11 News spoke exclusively to the Sergeant Benevolent's Association about a planned boycott against Tarantino and the December release of his film "The Hateful Eight". "He makes his living as a master craftsman of scene and setting, for him to claim now that he wasn't perfectly aware that his message was precisely "cops are murderers" is ludicrous", said Johnson.

"If it was being dealt with, then these murdering cops would be in jail or at least be facing charges", Tarantino said at the NY rally.

The NAPO also asked officers to stop providing security, traffic control or technical advice for any of the filmmaker’s projects after Tarantino's remarks at a NY rally against the killings by police of black civilians. "That's the way Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who's on Fox all the time says that I'm putting police in danger for standing up for the rights of unarmed citizens who have been killed by the police". "All cops are not murderers", Tarantino told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.

Mortenson told HuffPost Live the boycott is a "smokescreen" to avoid getting into the underlying causes of police officers who abuse their authority. "I am not a cop hater".
