Personally, I will not see this film. Not because it’s has extreme violence, because it’s a Tarantino film. I watched Mr. Tarantino’s speech, in full and in context. As for as I’m concerned Mr. Tarantino is a despicable human being. The thought of giving him one penny of my money makes me cringe.
I have a personal connection with law enforcement, both local and federal. A dear cousin (NYPD) and myself (federal).

Cannot see why police would be so angry with Tarantino when you take his words in context. He is upset with the violence by police by specific individuals in different police forces. It does seem that some police departments do have a problem with racism. That seems to be factual too that some police departments in this country still in 2014 have problems with racism. It goes both ways though. I mean that some blacks can be racist about whites. It is getting away from Martin Luther King, Jr.'s judging a man by the content of his character and not the color of his or her skin. Some people still do this in 2014 and 2015. Allow prejudice to creep in.
