Baltimore police union joins others in boycott of Quentin Tarantino film

BALTIMORE —The Baltimore City Lodge No. 3 is the latest police union to announce a boycott of Quentin Tarantino's upcoming film.

Tarantino is being heavily criticized by police unions around the country for remarks he made during a police brutality rally on Oct. 24 in New York, calling attention to those killed in police shootings.

"When I see murder I cannot stand by. I have to call the murdered the murdered. I have to call the murderers the murderers," Tarantino said during the rally.

The Baltimore City Lodge No. 3 on Thursday became the latest to announce a boycott of Tarantino's upcoming film, "The Hateful Eight." The movie does not deal with the issue of police brutality.

Perhaps instead of railing against a movie guy, the collective that are the police should look inward and cure the ills that besige them. Quentin Tarantino is not there bigest problem.

Last time a movie was boycotted by an organized group it doubled its expected box office take.
