Fraternal Order of Police has a surprise for Quentin Tarantino. What that surprise is, only the Fraternal Order of Police. I’m hoping it’s a whopper.

Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, would not go into any detail about what is being cooked up for the Hollywood director, but he did tell THR: “We’ll be opportunistic.”
“Tarantino has made a good living out of violence and surprise,” Pasco says. “Our offices make a living trying to stop violence, but surprise is not out of the question.”
The FOP, based in Washington D.C., consists of more than 330,000 full-time, sworn officers. According to Pasco, the surprise in question is already “in the works,” and will be in addition to the standing boycott of Tarantino’s films, including his upcoming movie The Hateful Eight.
“Something is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element,” Pasco says. “Something could happen anytime between now and [the premiere]. And a lot of it is going to be driven by Tarantino, who is nothing if not predictable.”
“The right time and place will come up and we’ll try to hurt him in the only way that seems to matter to him, and that’s economically,” Pasco says.
When asked if this was a threat, Pasco said no, at least not a physical threat. “Police officers protect people,” he says. “They don’t go out to hurt people.”
