Tarantino On Cops: “I completely and utterly reject the bad apples argument”


What makes Tarantino’s argument all the more absurd is that he doesn’t distinguish between individual cops who exceed or outright break the law and the rest who do nothing more than uphold it. In his view, everyone who is involved in law enforcement is a racist, whether they realize it or not.

“‘I completely and utterly reject the bad apples argument,’ the director told EW. ‘Chicago just got caught with their pants down in a way that can’t be denied. But I completely and utterly reject the ‘few bad apples’ argument. Yeah, the guy who shot [Laquan McDonald] is a bad apple. But so are the other eight or nine cops that were there that said nothing, did nothing, let a lie stand for an entire year.’

‘And the chief of police, is he a bad apple?’ Tarantino continued. ‘I think he is. Is [Chicago Mayor] Rahm Emanuel a bad apple? I think he is. They’re all bad apples. That just shows that that’s a bulls*** argument. It’s about institutional racism. It’s about institutional cover-ups that are about protecting the force as opposed to the citizens.’

Tarantino created a firestorm of controversy in October when he participated in an anti-police brutality rally in New York City, where he said: ‘I am 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 the call the murderers the murderers.’

Tarantino’s comments sparked calls for a boycott of the director’s upcoming Hateful Eight from some of the largest police associations in the country, including the NYPD, LAPD, the Fraternal Order of Police, and the National Association of Police Organizations.”
