Tarantino’s Father Say Son “Dead Wrong” Dubbing Police Murderers
Quentin Tarantino’s father says his Oscar-winning movie director son is “dead wrong” for calling police officers “murderers.”
“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,” actor Tony Tarantino said in a statement released by the New York Police Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association.
“He is a passionate man and that comes out in his art but sometimes he lets his passion blind him to the facts and to reality,” Tarantino continued about his son. “I believe that is what happened when he joined in those anti-cop protests. I wish he would take a hard, dispassionate look at the facts before jumping to conclusions and making these kinds of hurtful mistakes that dishonor an honorable profession.”
Police unions in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, New York and New Jersey call for a boycott of Quentin Tarantino’s films over his remarks at a police brutality protest in New York last weekend.
At the 24 October rally, the director said that some police officers who shoot civilians are murderers and that he stands “with the murdered.”
Mr. Tarantino’s new movie, “The Hateful Eight,” is to be released on Christmas.
Mr. Tarantino has not apologized, and veteran publicist Howard Bragman says if he does, it will be because he’s been pressured into it.
“But Quentin Tarantino has not gotten to be where he is because he is the most politically correct guy in Hollywood, and people like him because he’s not PC,” Mr. Bragman said. “He is not the guy who’s going to grovel.”
Have a terrific week.
