Less than three weeks remain before the arrival of Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, a film that police unions across the country have threatened to boycott following the director's comments and presence at a police brutality rally in October. "You should be able to talk about abuses of power," "People ask me, 'Are you worried?' And the answer's no, I'm not worried, because I do not feel like the police force is this sinister black hand organization that goes out and messes with individual citizens in a conspiracy sort of way," the filmmaker said. Even a protest where police officers bought up all the tickets to screenings so the film showed to empty theaters wouldn't have the desired effect, since it wouldn't impact the movie's box officer. "It's unfortunate because I do respect the good work that the police do," Tarantino said of the whole incident.
