Quentin Tarantino can't help himself. In early December, after spending the second half of 2015 supplying the thinkpiece industry with one piping-hot take after another, the filmmaker confessed to The Guardian that sitting down for a bunch of long-form interview features may not have been such a great idea. "If I keep giving them fish," he said, "and they're giving me back chum in 450 different outlets, I don't know why I'm doing it." Then less than two weeks later, Tarantino appeared on The Howard Stern Show, where he accused Disney of...

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino appeared on Wednesday’s episode of “The View” to clarify the controversial comments he made at an anti-police brutality rally in New York last month. Tarantino asserted to Whoopi Goldberg and the rest of the “View” crew that he doesn’t hate police — but that he’s being smeared as someone who does. “I’m not anti-police. I’m not a cop-hater. They’re trying to vilify me as that,” Tarantino said. “As far as I’m concerned, Patrick Lynch, the head of the NYPD union, is slandering me by calling me a cop-hater because they can...

On October 24th, Quentin Tarantino, a citizen, exercised his right to speak freely and to assemble peacefully as part of a Manhattan Black Lives Matter Rally. Regardless of your take on the issue, it is his right, and he exercised the very freedom that we take for granted daily. But Quentin Tarantino is more than just a citizen; he is an auteur without peer in American popular cinema, and he is a business in and of himself.
Every few years Tarantino earns millions of dollars, countless awards and accolades, and priceless social cachet for his long time producers the Weinsteins. But should business concerns stifle his willingness to speak as a citizen? I know I regularly have to bite my tongue in order to preserve my financial well being; it is a unique weakness and awareness of adulthood, consequence. And if there are forces both financial and social that constrain our freedoms,...

Quentin Tarantino dismissed the spate of police boycotts of his upcoming film, The Hateful Eight, telling the Los Angeles Times, "I'm not being intimidated. Frankly, it feels lousy to have a bunch of police mouthpieces call me a cop hater. I'm not a cop hater. That is a misrepresentation. That is slanderous. That is not how I feel."

An unlikely ally has joined the NYPD and Lapd police officers unions in condemning Quentin Tarantino for his stance on police brutality: The director's own father. In a statement given to the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association – the NYPD rank-and-file officers union – Tony Tarantino wrote, "I love my son and have great respect for him as an artist but he is dead wrong in calling police officers, particularly in New York City where I grew up, murderers."

New York City police commissioner William Bratton is the latest high-profile law enforcement official to condemn director Quentin Tarantino.
The filmmaker was in attendance at a protest march in New York on Saturday, where he raised some fiery allegations against police for a spate of recent shootings of unarmed suspects.
Tarantino told protesters that cops have too often become "murderers", adding: "When I see murders, I do not stand by... I have to call the murderers the murderers."
Protest organisers were also criticised for holding the event just days after New York cop Randolph Holder was shot and killed in Harlem last week.
Tarantino was condemned by New York City's top cop William Bratton during an appearance on Wnym-970 Am on Monday (October 26).
"Shame on him, particularly at this time, where we're grieving the murder of a New York City police officer," Bratton declared.

Quentin Tarantino has not had the career he's had by playing it safe, and the Oscar-winning writer/director has once again garnered some controversy — though this time, it wasn't something in one of his films that caused it, but something the man himself said.
Over the weekend, Tarantino attended a protest against police brutality in New York City, where he briefly addressed the crowd before giving his remaining time to the families of people killed by police officers:
"I am a human being with a conscience. When I see murder, I cannot standby. I have to call the murdered the murdered, and I have to call the murderers the murderers."
Patrick Lynch, the head of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, released a statement to THR, part of which reads:

A law enforcement union is calling for a boycott of director Quentin Tarantino over his controversial comments about police brutality.
The filmmaker was in attendance at a protest march in New York on Sunday, where he levied some fiery allegations against police for a spate of recent shootings of unarmed suspects.
Tarantino told protesters that cops have too often become "murderers", adding: "When I see murders, I do not stand by... I have to call the murderers the murderers."
Those comments drew an emphatic response from Patrick Lynch, union leader of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association.
"It's no surprise that someone who makes a living glorifying crime and violence is a cop-hater, too," he told the New York Post.
"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.

The New York Police Department officer union has called for a citywide boycott of Quentin Tarantino's films following comments the director made during a rally against police brutality on Saturday. Speaking at the RiseUpOctober protest in New York's Washington Square Park, the filmmaker told the crowd concerning police brutality, "This is not being dealt with in any way at all. That's why we are out here. If it was being dealt with, then these murdering cops would be in jail or at least be facing charges."

Following an appearance at a Washington Square rally to protest police violence this weekend, the New York City police has called for a boycott of director Quentin Tarantino's films says The New York Post.
Tarantino attended the rally, marched with the crowd, and reportedly used the term "murderers" when referring to some of the deaths and the hands of police officers in recent months.
Combined with the protest coming just days after the death of NYPD officer Randolph Holder whilst on the job in East Harlem, has led to President of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association Patrick Lynch calling for the boycott:

By the time this column runs we may have some other, more fresh horror than the terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo. Certainly, those of us who love comics will have read myriad opinions on What It All Means, and, perhaps, we will simply want to talk about something else.
Tough noogies. I’m going to talk about the Charlie Hebdo cartoons.
First of all, I want to be clear. I am totally in favor or freedom of expression. I support all kinds of anti-censorship organizations, including but not limited to the American Civil Liberties Union and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Nothing that I say should be interpreted to mean that the journalists, editors and cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo were in any way, shape or form responsible for the terrorist attack against them.
That should be obvious, but here in New York, respectable news media...

Of course, this doesn't mean the NYPD — and particularly Pba President Patrick Lynch, are blameless here. Mr. Lynch stating the Mayor had "blood on his hands" following the deaths of those two officers was reckless and inexcusable despite emotions being high. But to not hold de Blasio accountable in originally creating this strife while saying the NYPD is engaging in "disgraceful acts" in turning their backs on said mayor is only making the prospect of healing even more impossible to imagine.

The New York Times editorial board wrote a scathing piece Monday criticizing the NYPD for disrespecting Mayor Bill de Blasio and embarking on a “victimhood” campaign.
The paper’s criticism comes after hundreds of police officers attending the funeral of murdered officer Rafael Ramos Saturday turned their backs when the mayor spoke.

New York (AP) — After spending eight years in prison, former "Sopranos" actor Lillo Brancato Jr. says he's trying to help young people avoid making similar, drug-fueled mistakes. "Here I am, I get the opportunity, I get the shot and then squander it, and do what I did, and get addicted to drugs and just make horrible decisions," the 37-year-old Brancato said in an interview broadcast Sunday on Wnym-am. He was paroled in December after serving time for his role in a 2005 Bronx break-in that left an off-duty police officer dead. Brancato, who got his break in the 1993 film "A Bronx Tale" with Robert De Niro, said he's reaching out to young people to discuss the addiction he was unable to control. His last drug high was in prison in 2006, he said. According to prosecutors, the actor and a Genovese crime family associate, Steven Armento, were drinking at a Bronx strip...

A pair of L.A. Coliseum officials and a rave promoter were arrested Thursday, March 22, for getting into some shady, under-the-table dealings. Patrick Lynch, the Coliseum's former general manager, Todd DeStefano, the venue's former events manager, and Reza Gerami, owner of promotion company Go Ventures, are facing as-yet-unknown charges, L.A. Weekly reports.
The reason for the arrest has not been officially released but it has been alleged that they "mismanaged funds and diverted money for their own use." DeStefano, in particular, was accused of illegally pocketing money from promoters and organizers, totaling upwards of $1.5 million.

Just because Ice-t plays a man with a badge on TV, don't forget that the onetime gangsta rap icon recorded a controversial tune called "Cop Killer" back in the day. Just two days after he lashed out at a police officer who pulled him over in New York on Tuesday and arrested him for allegedly driving with a suspended license and not wearing a seat belt, the beef between T and the NYPD continues to escalate.
On Thursday, the president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association rapped T (born Tracy Marrow) for posting the arresting officer's name and badge number after the collar.

Police union bosses have slammed rapper/actor Ice-t after he accused New York City cops of "lying" over claims he was caught driving on a suspended license. On Tuesday, July 20, police officers stopped a car driven by the "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star and his wife Coco when the couple was spotted not wearing seatbelts.
A subsequent search of police records suggested Ice-t had been temporarily banned from driving and he was booked and released for the charge. The hip-hop star, real name Tracy Marrow, later logged on to the internet to blast the allegations and the arresting officer. In a post on Twitter.com, he wrote, "Some punk b**ch rookie cop named Fisher #10026 made the arrest of his bulls**t career today. Arresting the notorious Ice T for no seatbelt."
He insisted authorities had made a mistake, because his license from his native New Jersey is clean,...
