Quentin Tarantino says that killing of a New York police officer, Randolph Holder, less than a week before the protest took place was not the "point" of the protest.
He says that the families of shooting victims involved couldn't reschedule just because it wouldn't be "convenient."
Republican Rep. Ted Poe of Texas claimed on Wednesday that the filmmaker had "called for violence against law enforcement" and that his remarks at the protest were "idiotic."
Tarantino said in response that they're being inflammatory and they're slandering Him. He added that he?s not a cop hater.
While Tarantino hasn't been in personal contact with police officers since the protest story has gained traction, he said he actually have a whole lot of police officers who are big fans of his work.
