*It probably comes as no surprise that there are cops out there who are not happy that “Straight Outta Compton” has been released because they think the movie only makes them look bad and puts their safety at risk.
Officers who spoke to TMZ say the film the movie portrays the LAPD officers as “beating machines” … brutalizing innocent citizens in the inner city. (Hmm, the truth hurts sometimes and this is a perfect example of that.)
Former L.A. City Councilman Dennis Zine, who was himself an LAPD cop and headed up the Police Protective League, tells us, “It’s a terrible time to release a movie like this. It adds fuel to the fire for hating cops.”
The cops we spoke with are bitter, especially because they say they’ve spent a lot of time and energy creating bonds in areas where police abuse was once prevalent.
And naturally the last thing some cops want to do is deny reality and blame Universal for having the audacity to make the film in the first place.
They complain that the timing of the release of the film couldn’t worse with all the stories of cops killing unarmed black men making news. Naturally they think Universal should have waited until … well, who knows when to release the “Straight Outta Compton.”
