New York City’sย police union is calling for a boycott of Quentin Tarantinoย movies after the director blasted officers during a rally against police brutality Saturday — less than a week after an officer was killed by an armed-suspect.

“When I see murders, I do not stand by .โ€‰.โ€‰. I have to call a murder a murder, and I have to call the murderers the murderers,” the “Django Unchained” director toldย a crowd of protesters in Washington Square Park, saying that cops are too often “murderers.”

The rally cameย four days after NYPD Officer Randolph Holder was fatally shot in the head while chasing a gunman in East Harlem.
