New York City police commissioner William Bratton is the latest high-profile law enforcement official to condemn director Quentin Tarantino.
The filmmaker was in attendance at a protest march in New York on Saturday, where he raised some fiery allegations against police for a spate of recent shootings of unarmed suspects.
Tarantino told protesters that cops have too often become "murderers", adding: "When I see murders, I do not stand by... I have to call the murderers the murderers."
Protest organisers were also criticised for holding the event just days after New York cop Randolph Holder was shot and killed in Harlem last week.
Tarantino was condemned by New York City's top cop William Bratton during an appearance on Wnym-970 Am on Monday (October 26).
"Shame on him, particularly at this time, where we're grieving the murder of a New York City police officer," Bratton declared.

A New York City grand jury cleared a white police officer Wednesday in the videotaped chokehold death of an unarmed black man who had been stopped on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes, a lawyer for the victim's family said. The decision in Staten Island not to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo threatened to add to the tensions that have simmered in the city since the July 17 death of Eric Garner - a case that sparked outrage and drew comparisons to the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Missouri. Jonathon Moore, an attorney for the victim's family, said he...

Politics may make strange bedfellows, but Washington D.C.'s most star-studded night always makes for some interesting table talk. At the 100th annual White House Correspondents Association dinner, emceed this year by Joel McHale, expect to see the usual oddball mix of celebrities seated with politicians seated with media folk, who host tables in a massive ballroom under the Washington Hilton. To the uninitiated, watching the A-listers make their way to their seats seems a bit like Harry Potter's Hogwarts "sorting hat" is at work sending each boldface name to the right place. Where's Anna Kendrick headed? She'll be at the Huffington Post's table,...

Three extreme-skydiving enthusiasts accused of parachuting off the 1 World Trade Center tower last fall were arrested Monday, authorities said, in a second criminal case in two weeks arising from surreptitious stunts at the nation's tallest skyscraper. The three daredevils and someone accused of being an accomplice were facing charges including felony burglary in a Sept. 30 leap from the building, where a teenage boy was arrested on March 16. Authorities said the teen had slipped through a gap in a fence, eluded an inattentive security guard and spent about two hours atop the 1,776-foot-tall tower. The incidents have raised questions about security at the lower Manhattan site,...

James Brady, Kyle Hartwell, Marko Markovich and Andrew Rossig are the four New York City-area men who were arrested on Monday for Base jumping from the top of One World Trade Center back in September.
One World Trade Base Jumpers Arrested
Brady, Hartwell, Markovich and Rossig have all been charged with burglary, reckless endangerment and jumping from a structure, according to NYPD Commissioner William Bratton.
"These men violated the law and placed themselves, as well as others, in danger," Bratton stated. "These arrests should send a message to anyone thinking about misusing a landmark this way."
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the trade center, also released a statement censuring the four men.

CBS News correspondent John Miller just announced on Wcbs-tv New York that he is going towork for incoming NYPD Commissioner William Bratton. The two worked together when Bratton was NYPD commissioner in the mid-’90s and again when Bratton was La’s commissioner, with Miller focused on terrorism preparedness. The news comes just days after some TV-news navel lint pickers scolded Miller over his 60 Minutes report on the Nsa — the New York Times calling it “a friendly infomercial for the agency.” Miller is a former FBI official who worked with Nsa; some critics said he should have stayed away from the story because of that. Miller responded to the criticism, to the Nyt, saying, “As we constructed it, the Nsa was a story about a debate, not a villain, and we added to that debate with important information.
