Cop-bashing Tarantino called police for help

Cop-bashing filmmaker Quentin Tarantino had no problems calling police for help last month when he spotted a prowler in his back yard.
Speaking to The Los Angeles Times for the first time since he called police officers “murderers” at an anti-cop rally in NYC, the embattled director recalled how he dialed 911 to report a stranger had broken into his Los Angeles property.

The call came just days before Tarantino made the controversial remarks in Washington Square Park on Oct. 24.

“I had dealings with police officers the week before I left for New York,” he said. “I had a trespasser on my property. It was like 1 in the morning and I look in my backyard and there’s someone there, looking like he’s wearing swim trunks.

“I have a pool. But he wasn’t in it,” Tarantino explained. “I told him to get the hell out of here. He went away and I called the cops. And he ended up still being outside when the cops got there, sitting in his car. The cops questioned him, but he wasn’t wearing swim trunks at the time. He was dressed and cool and collected. So they told him to get lost.”

The Academy Award winner also told the LA Times, who released their full interview with Tarantino on Wednesday, that he was impressed with the cops who arrived at his house and how they respected the rights of the intruder.

“The officers were terrific,” he said. “One guy told me, ‘You know, I had a suspicion about the guy, but nothing fit the profile we had been given on the police call. No swim trunks. And he wasn’t nervous. So I didn’t have enough to ask him to step out of the car.’ So they were explaining all this to me and as opposed to being angry, like, “You had the guy and you let him go!”, frankly, I felt good. ‘Oh. OK. There’s a threshold here. You don’t just make a guy get out of the…car. There’s a threshold and he didn’t cross it and you didn’t cross it.’

“I didn’t say that to them,” Tarantino added. “But that’s what I felt. I felt like they had handled it really well. He was just trespassing. I chased him away myself.”

Harvey Weinstein furious at Tarantino for anti-cop rally

Harvey Weinstein -Film Producer , Co founder ory Mixamax Films & owns 'The Weinstein Company' & is also Democratic & from New York.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Weinstein/
----------------------------------------------
Quote from Cinema Blend

Weinstein would apparently like to see Tarantino apologize for his comments, or at least walk them back, which is like apologizing but doesn’t usually include an actual apology. He’s also looking at other ideas that might calm down the calls for boycott, like a special screening of Tarantino’s new film 'The Hateful Eight' for police officers and their families. It’s a nice gesture, but it’s hard to see how that will help smooth things over. The NYPD police officers union called the director a "purveyor of degeneracy" when they called for the boycott, so they’d have some comments to answer for as well if they were actually willing to come to terms on something like that.

| CINEMABLEND http://www.cinemablend.com/m/new/Why-Harvey-Weinstein-Apparently-Mad-Quentin-Tarantino-91837.html/
---------------------------------------------
Quote from Breitbart article

Amid a growing nationwide boycott of Tarantino’s upcoming film, a spokesperson for The Weinstein Company told THR on Tuesday the studio would not speak for Tarantino, adding he can “speak for himself,” in regards to the Oscar-winning director’s description of police officers as “murderers.”

Tarantino, like all of Hollywood, is an attention whore who will say anything for, well, attention. And the fact that he is an attention whore makes me wonder what restroom he will use...the one with the dlck on it, or the vagina? Liberals and the decisions they have to make.....


Bltches about violence while making violent movies....what a hack.
