| Topic: Law Enforcement to Boycott Concerts | |

The Miami Fraternal Order of Police released a press release Thursday stating that they are planning to boycott Beyoncé’s concert in April and are urging others to do the same. This comes after a controversial Super Bowl performance when Queen B alluded to the Black Panther movement.
“The fact that Beyoncé used this year’s Super Bowl to divide Americans by promoting the BlackPanthers and her antipolice message shows how she does not support law enforcement,” Javier Oritz President of The Miami FOP said in the press release. “We ask all law enforcement labor organizations to join our boycott across the country and to boycott all of her concerts.” Following the Miami concert, Beyoncé is set to perform in Tampa on April 29th and Tampa police officers have come forward to admit they are hesitant to work the event. The singer recently released her new music video for “Formation” in which critics have claimed it sends an anti-cop message. Tampa Police Department spokesperson Steve Hegarty spoke to FOX13, and explained off duty officers usually sign up to work concerts and special events, however no one has yet to sign up for Beyoncé’s show. “We’re going to staff it because we have a responsibility to do that regardless of how controversial it might be, who the artist might be, or the politician might be,” Hegarty said. “This is a couple of months away, so we’ve still got plenty of time to fill those slots.” This is not the first boycott from police when it comes to the Hollywood crowd. Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino sparked debate when he spoke at an anti-police-brutality rally in Brooklyn, N.Y. on October 24. He said, "I'm a human being with a conscience. And if you believe there's murder going on then you need to rise up and stand up against it. I'm here to say I'm on the side of the murdered." In response to his statements, local police organizations in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles all declared their plans to boycott the film. Request for comment from Beyoncé, the Miami FOP, and the Tampa Police Department have yet to be returned. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/02/19/miami-police-to-boycott-beyonce-concert-over-controversial-super-bowl/?intcmp=hpff We saw how a Law Enforcement boycott helped to hurt Tarantino's Hateful Eight movie. |

Beyonce can go to hell for all I care.
"I'm a human being with a conscience. And if you believe there's murder going on then you need to rise up and stand up against it. I'm here to say I'm on the side of the murdered." Isn't this the unspoken code of Homicide Departments and Divisions? Brutality in its various forms is CRIMINAL. CRIMINAL activity is CRIME BY LAW. LAWFUL enforcement provides EQUAL PROTECTION under the LAW, ONLY when there is EQUAL PROSECUTION under the LAW. UNEQUAL PROTECTION and UNEQUAL PROSECUTION under the LAW is the ABSENCE of LAW. “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness….” |

I find this to be a very poor decision by whomever is advocating it.
These police are declaring that for entirely POLITICAL REASONS, that they want others to refuse to do their sworn duty to protect and defend. This means that they oppose Freedom of Speech, and believe that government officials should manipulate the population directly, by refusing to perform when they dislike the message. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the politicizing that Beyonce is said to have done either, and I'm not a proponent of ANY effort to polarize Americans against each other. But for people who have sworn themselves to uphold the law, to purposely decide to ignore it entirely because they are angry at someone, is beyond reprehensible. If they want to REALLY make a positive impression, and possibly even wake up their critics to actually THINK, they would instead, formally and repeatedly declare that because they are NOT the horrid people who the protesters are claiming they are, that they WILL do their duty, and protect the protesters IN SPITE OF the insults the protesters are casting. |

If you are trying to claim that it's the free speech of the police which is at issue, you are wrong. Because it is inherent to a number of roles in our lives, that our speech is limited. That includes that people who's job it is to do something, in private businesses as well, do NOT have the right to speak in opposition to what they are employed to do. If you are saying anything else, you are writing nonsense. |

Good. Then the concert people will have to hire private security guards and save taxpayer money, forcing any security costs to the people that actually go to the concert. Yay capitalism. “We’re going to staff it because we have a responsibility to do that regardless of how controversial it might be, who the artist might be, or the politician might be...” Awwwww. |

Bruno Mars wore black also.... black panthers, google police on the beyonce halftime show, there's an article about it there... seems it's mainly the NYC police "" During the halftime show, Beyoncé and her dancers wore outfits widely perceived to be reminiscent of the Black Panther movement, down to the black berets. Afterward, her dancers also joined Black Lives Matter activists in holding up a sign demanding justice for Mario Woods, a 26-year- old black man who was shot more than 15 times by police officers in San Francisco after he slashed a stranger in the face."" http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/02/20/arts/music/beyonce-concert-boycotted-by-police-group-over-halftime-show.html?referer=http://www.google.com/m?q=police+beyonce&client=ms-opera-mini-android&channel=new |

Law enforcement owes the tard, nothing.
Especially "free" security for her shows. |

I think the boycott is symbolical. Fact is these off duty cops get paid a lot of money to moonlight these things. Same for road repairs. They actually don't do anything ( on the road repairs gig), just sit in the car with the lights flashing and stare at you as you drive by. There not going to give up those cash cows. They actually make as much as you would think and they don't get to use department issued gear or vehicles while working privately. In fact in certain states like Nevada to do this sort of work you have to be licensed by the PILB Board and if you are a Law Enforcement Officer of any type you can not get the PILB Card. Most states are going to this because of liability issues. |

That is not what they are saying, in fact they stated they will still do their job if they are on shift. It is talking about working side jobs providing Security to Beyoncé or on her concerts or paying to attend her concerts. Re-read the article. |

Unless it's a Stadium at a college campus like what we have here in Reno and Las Vegas and when they have concerts here they UNR Police Department is fully staffed and deployed to the concert and they are a full blown Law Enforcement Agency with K-9's and SWAT and not just a campus security force. Same with UNLV in Las Vegas, so it very well could be tax payer funded. |

it was the BLM What was the BLM? and she was dressed like the I just didnt equate her 'dress' with 'black panthers'. Bruno Mars wore black also.... black panthers, Oh yea. Her & her crew & Bruno Mars are all dressed to mimic the (original) )Black Panthers (hate group from the 1960's- 70's). Calling themselves NEW Black Panthers doesn't change anything. Especially the ideology. The Black Panthers were NEVER about justice or equality. They ARE about vengeance & the redistribution of wealth & power (like the elite that is backing them.. they are just fools who don't know it). All this ' pre organized chaos' is for her ego & profit & for young people who weren't born yet & are too lazy or too dumb to read. Psychological warfare  Have to pit the races against each other, so they don't see the common enemy. " By Martial & Presidential law, lay down you weapons & enjoy the show "

VIDEO
Beyoncé’s Super Bowl 50 performance has been a hot topic people debate about whether it was racist, anti-cop or supportive of the violent Black Panther movement. Conservatives who have said that the performance was inappropriate have been branded as being racist themselves for even daring to speak out about a black entertainer’s controversial act. CNN’s Don Lemon hosted a panel Tuesday to discuss the performance, but the rest of his guests weren’t too happy when former NYPD Detective Harry Houck, who also happens to be Caucasian, called the performance “racist.” “Some say her performance is anti-police with the reference to the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter movement. Do you feel it was anti-police?” Lemon asked. “Well, it’s also racist,” Houck responded without hesitation. The rest of the panel clearly did not agree with the former detective, and they let it show by rolling their eyes and laughing — you know, the mature way to respond when you disagree with someone who is making a valid point. Houck mentioned how the pop star seemed to support the inherently anti-white and anti-cop “Black Liberation Army.” “Dressing up her dancers like the BLA definitely tells me that was a racist statement and shows support for an organization that has murdered and assassinated police officers,” he said. Watch video of the panel discussion here Houck was absolutely right. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Beyoncé’s performance was meant to incite more anti-cop feelings and “black power” ideology across the nation. People like Beyoncé who profit from that type of attitude don’t truly want racial healing. As long as there is racial conflict, they can make the big bucks by exploiting and perpetuating it. Our nation’s heroes don’t deserve to be slammed, much less on national television, for doing their jobs and keeping our communities safe. By bringing in notions of the Black Panthers or the Black Liberation Army, it sends a message that you support the killing of police officers — specifically white ones. If that’s not racist and anti-cop, then what is?
