On November 6, 2015, the following report was released in various media outlets:
"Something is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element,” Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, told The Hollywood Reporter. “Something could happen anytime between now and [the debut of Hateful Eight]. And a lot of it is going to be driven by Tarantino, who is nothing if not predictable.” Pasco added that his group, the largest police organization in the world, would be “opportunistic.”
These statements, made by a representative of an organization comprised of over 300,000 public law enforcement employees, amounts to a conspiracy designed to chill constitutionally protected speech, illegal under 18 USC s. 241.
