In an interview with Bill Maher on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday, Quentin Tarantino talks about police officials not facing the issues of police brutality by focusing more on him.
Following an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, Tarantino is getting the blue heat from police officials because of the recent comments he made regarding police brutality. In support of people's protest against the issue, Tarantino appeared at a rally against police brutality in New York. His statement during the event declared that he is a human being with a conscience and he cannot idly stand by when he sees murders being murdered by a murderer. ".. I have to call the murdered the murdered and the murderers the murderers" says Tarantino.
He's receiving slams from different police unions around the country. Police associations such as New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick J. Lynch called Tarantino a cop hater with police unions pushing for a boycott on his next film titlted "The Hateful Eight".
He claims that the police's response to his comment is like a hydra - a snake with many heads. Tarantino feels that the head that needs to be chopped off is the "blue wall". A term used where the police or men in blue protect their own. Tarantino says that the police would rather protect their own than put themselves at the betterment of all and that the institution itself has issues. As far as Tarantino is concerned, murder is murder.
Quentin Tarantino is currently promoting his latest film titled The Hateful Eight. The film starts Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Samuel L. Jackson. The film is set in post-civil war Wyoming where bountyhunters and their prisoner try to survive the blizzard.
The movie will be released on Christmas day - December 25, 2015 in the USA.
