The Rise Up October rally...featured Tarantino as a speaker. The event aimed to call attention to police brutality and its victims. While there, Tarantino said the following:
"I’m a human being with a conscience. And when I see murder I cannot stand by. And I have to call the murdered the murdered, and I have to call the murderers the murderers."
The quote first received major exposure via the New York Post on the day of the protest. The next day, Patrick J. Lynch, president of New York's Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, a labor union representing police, called for a boycott of Tarantino's films, including the upcoming Western The Hateful Eight, which comes out Christmas Day. In a statement (which you can read in full at Entertainment Weekly), Lynch said:
"It’s no surprise that someone who makes a living glorifying crime and violence is a cop-hater, too. The police officers that Quentin Tarantino calls "murderers" aren’t living in one of his depraved big screen fantasies — they’re risking and sometimes sacrificing their lives to protect communities from real crime and mayhem."
From there, numerous other police groups — including, most notably, the largest union for Hollywood's own Los Angeles Police Department — joined the boycott.

I boycott them because they’re stupid.
I just hope little butt-boy Quentin needs a police officer in the near future and they remember who and what they’re dealing with, then act accordingly. I know, our police are way too good to do that, though.
F’ this stupid faggot.
I like Pulp Fiction in a weird sort of way I guess. I never let myself watch it until recently and I liked it. It was clever and kind of funny, but also pretty brutal. I think at some point I’ll probably get tired of it because after the newness and clever storytelling wears out, all you have is a fairly brutal portrayal.
So Quentin Tarantino is a flaming faggot fairy sodomite? Well, that right there pushes Pulp Fiction closer to the dumper for me. Why? Because faggots have a very cynical and deviant view of life and the world.
For me changes what I thought to be cleverness in Pulp Fiction to distortion from a twisted mess-up mind and life.

Pulp fiction had some nice dialogue to it. There was an interplay of tension yet social playfulness to some of it (not all). But most of the plot, like some of the dialogue, were like most of his movies (the few that I have seen, admittedly); ridiculous scenarios that mock stereotyped social roles and eye-rolling attempts to shock and provoke a cynical disregard for human value.
No surprise that most of his major films were produced by his business partner, Harvey Weinstein.
Let me guess. Tarantino went after hippies in his last movie. The left couldn’t forgive.
I like the joke about the three tomatoes.
Actually the whole retro cafe and stars of a bygone era was kind of fun. The dialogue, as you say, was pretty playful and fun.
I think this was about the time when QT said that (paraphrasing) cops in ‘70s TV shows rarely used guns...they just got into brief scuffles with the bad guys.Really?
This article is from November of 2015? I may be missing something, but why is it being posted now?
Confused as to why you fail to make connection. Has the cultural climate changed since this article? It’s only heightened since.
He’s not a fag. Being white, he must be a racist, but he’s not a fag. Another word that gets thrown around a lot.
OK, thanks for the clarification. When people call someone a faggot they should know they’re saying the guy is a queer, a sodomite.
Or just intimating that they are. It’s high school bullying/kidding talk. I went to high school with a couple of guys that were best friends, probably because they both got picked on for being a little bit effeminate. About 20 years after graduation, I saw one of them washing a car, decked out in Daisy Dukes, a white wife-beater, and a Freddie Mercury mustache. I about died laughing. I told my neighbor, and we were laughing, and his girlfriend came unglued on us. Apparently she knew the guy, and swore up and down that he wasn’t gay. I thought she was gonna hit me. Anyway, I relented, saying “OK, he’s not gay. But he’s not doing himself any favors wearing that get-up.”
He has some sort of foot fetish.
It’s why they show Uma’s feet in a scene in Kill Bill vol.1
Addendum: One guy in high school that did turn out to be gay, and, sadly, died young of AIDS, spent most of his free time at school hanging out with the cheerleaders, and other hot chicks. I had no clue he was gay until his brother told me, years after he died. He was a nice guy....his brothers were real a-holes, though.
So, why no feet in the other movies? Hardly a fetish, if you ask me. He was showing nerve activity returning to her foot. She puts on lipstick before going out with Vincent in “Pulp Fiction.” Does Tarantino have a lip fetish?
That’s nothing. I met him and he’s a pompous ass.
