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.

We saw how a Law Enforcement boycott helped to hurt Tarantino's Hateful Eight movie.

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.




its funny how asking that black folks stop being killed or even sillier, black folks wearing black is equated with supporting violence against cops,,,smh

and sad that so many are brainwashed into believing that the former can only mean the latter

I think its kinda petty boycotting a Beyonce concert , she is well liked and I believe that the cops don't have anything better to do , and doing this will only make the black community more against the police

true... but how come no one is asking blacks to obey the laws and police?

uh, they are


its called the JUSTICE SYSTEM who swiftly holds them accountable if they dont'''



same accountability that is asked for when police kill unarmed citizens

well,even Bouncey needs to learn that Actions have Consequences!

People boycott stuff, for all sorts of reasons.
Can't recall the organization's name, but a certain group of idiots, for whatever asinine reasons,
called for a boycott of black Friday.

Nowhere, is any private citizen, such as beyonce, entitled to taxpayer funded security,.
Hers is a "for profit" venture. She can hire security, at her own expense.
