As you're probably aware, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino attended an October 24 rally against police brutality. There, he declared “I’m a human being with a conscience. And when I see murder I cannot stand by. And I have to call the murdered the murdered and I have to call the murderers the murderers.”
After his comments ignited a firestorm of controversy, Tarantino indicated that he was only speaking about specific cases, saying: “in those cases in particular that we’re talking about, I actually do believe that they were murder. Now, in the case of Walter Scott, who was the man running in the park and was shot in the back, and the case of Sam DuBose, I believe those were murder, and they were deemed murder. And the reason — and the only reason they were deemed murder is because the incidences were caught on video."
