Would somebody please explain the Bill of Rights to Quentin Tarantino? The film director apparently thinks that Freedom of Speech is a one-way street: he gets to call cops "murderers," but they don't get to criticize him for it.
Appearing on MSNBC show this evening, asked by Chris Hayes if he was surprised by the "vitriol" of police reaction to his speech at a recent rally in New York at which he called police "murderers," Quentin whined: "I was under the impression I was an American and that I had First Amendment rights." Poor baby. Yeah, you do. So do the cops.

Whining Quentin Tarantino thinks First Amendment is one-way street. He gets to call cops murderers but they don’t get to defend themselves.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Funny how this schmuck hates cops but two weeks ago when someone came onto his property who did he call for help..THE COPS..hey next time you need help since you hate the cops so much just grab an orange instead
He has the right to free speech, but so do cops.
Also note how leftists always decry any hint of non-PC behavior in TV or movies, but then say it has violence in TV and movies has no effect on the culture.
Tarantino has made a living showing people pointing guns and murdering each other.
Now it’s the cops fault?
What a complete and total asshat. They don’t come any asshattier.
Someone should point out to him that a favorite saying of the Leftist Social Justice Bullies is “You have freedom of speech, but not freedom from the consequences of that speech”
Yes.
He could be the asshattiest of them all.
May his movie box office be
even worse than “Truth.”
Tarrantino is the douchiest douchebag in douchetown.
They don’t come any douchebaggier.
It is frightening how many people do not understand the 1st Amendment and would work feverishly to get rid of it ... for others, not understanding the implications for themselves at all.
So many short sighted stupid people.
A good number of them are in Hollywood.
My guess is he is doing this because of his obsession with the “N” word in just about every movie he makes, so I assume his latest one will have the same thing.
He’s entitled to speak his First Amendment rights to speak as a jerk.
Perfect description! LOL
I back the BLUE as much as anyone, that being said, I don’t think most of yall would relish a drive up I35 through WACO, especially on a bike, not even mentioning the FEDS.
Is Rachel Maddow putting on a few lbs?
Funny, I thought the First Amendment stated that Congress shall make no law infringing on freedom of religion, speech, the press, and the ability to assemble. I don’t see anything in there that says that dumbass Hollywood directors should be immune from adverse opinion. Maybe it’s one of those special, secret codicils that states that celebrities are Special People with Special Rights unlike the rest of us who keep their shabby careers afloat with our ticket money. Not my ticket money, at least.
Does this make him an honorary Dixie Chick?
The Chicks had a similar inability to distinguish between free speech and consequence-free speech.
“I was under the impression I was an American and that I had First Amendment rights.”
Yes, you certainly do, knock yourself out, and I have my First Amendment right to call you an idiot and to not go see your freaking movies.
He could rule his own douchedome.
