The highly-anticipated release of music moguls Dr. Dre and Ice Cube‘s Straight Outta Compton has sparked some negative reactions from the Los Angeles Police Department.
According to reports, various LAPD cops are upset over the N.W.A. biopic’s release because of how it portrays police on the big screen.
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.

A few days ago, West Coast rapper Game blasted reports about the new movie sparking security issues at movie theaters.

Recently, Cube promised personal feelings had nothing to do with late rapper Eazy-E’s son not portraying his father.
“He’s an up-and-coming actor trying to do it but we needed somebody who was a little more polished to play Eazy, because he goes through a lot in his life. He goes from selling dope in Compton to fighting for his life in a hospital bed. So we needed to find an actor with a lot of range. And we just couldn’t use just anybody. We gave him a shot, and it just didn’t work out.” (KS 107.5)
lapd upset because the truth is out on film…..lol
Everyone already knows the truth. If they needed this film to tell em then they been under a damn rock.
WHy are they upset cause it portrays what they really did and still do?
Maybe because it’s the truth? All a movie like this will do is just cause more anger which is the last thing needed right now you dumb ass.
They say the truth hurts..tell those puss**s to pop a pill for the pain. This film shows how these cops treat us and THEY’RE offended? It’s a bad time to release it? I think it’s perfect timing…Now we can hear the Classic “F*uck The Police” again the for a few months.

I agree. It is coming out at the wrong time. The last thing anyone needs is more violence that a movie like this will probably incite.
Theatre shooters who kill multiple innocent victims typically choose any movie? Like say the last shooter who chose Amy shumer? Cops with guilty consciousness should stay focused on their job not a harmless movie, that happens to point to the fact that the are not very good at their job.
FYI FTP!
Violence against who? They the ones who are doing the violence. Plus, it’s just a movie. I highly doubt someone gonna start busting at cops caused they seen a biopic. What time would have been the appropriate time then in your opinion?
a film based on the truth should come out right now,shine a light on any and all corruption, police have long forgotten their job is to serve and protect. not to profile, intimidate and murder people at taxpayers expense…wake up!!
