Police Should Face Why The Public Is Losing Trust In Them
Note: Huffington Post reports the threatening language of police union leader. The language sounds like he means Tarantino will suffer a “surprise” before his next film is released, it is not until much later where he clarifies it will be an economic surprise. Will this kind of language incite violence or other police abuse against Tarantino? If it does police should expect a huge blowback from the action. Here’s how Huff Post reported it:
The head of the Fraternal Order of Police said he has a “surprise” for filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.
Jim Pasco, executive director of the largest U.S. police union, offered the creepy statement Thursday to The Hollywood Reporter, vowing to get back at the “Pulp Fiction” director for comments decrying police brutality at a rally last month.
Pasco wouldn’t give details, but promised the union will “be opportunistic” with the surprise some time before the premiere of Tarantino’s new film, “The Hateful Eight.”
“Something is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element,” Pasco said. “Something could happen anytime between now and [the premiere]. And a lot of it is going to be driven by Tarantino, who is nothing if not predictable.”
Pasco said the plan isn’t a threat of physical violence. It will aim to hurt Tarantino “in the only way that seems to matter to him, and that’s economically,” he said.
