Many LAPD cops are pissed at the release of "Straight Outta Compton" ... because they feel the movie fuels hatred of police and compromises their safety. The cops we spoke with share one sentiment ... the movie portrays the LAPD officers as "beating machines" ... brutalizing innocent citizens in the inner city. 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. Some of the officers specifically blame Universal, saying the studio is putting profits above the safety of the officers who make L.A. safe. And all of the officers say the timing is awful, given what's going on across the country. If Universal was determined to release the movie, the cops we spoke with say they should have waited.

I saw that the movie was #1 at the box office this weekend, and as far as the LAPD saying that the movie portrays them as beating machines and brutalizing innocent citizens in the inner city...#ALLTRUTH!! and even sadder, there are so many other cities that carry that shame(smh)

Yes they do and the news wanted to see more unrest they couldn't believe that a movie like this didn't set off a firestorm.
