Police unions call on members to boycott Beyonce's 'anti-cop' Formation tour after Black Panther tribute
- 8 years ago
Police unions in the US are calling on members to refuse to work patrolling Beyoncé concerts in her new tour after her controversial Super Bowl "Black Lives Matter" performance that also paid tribute to the revolutionary Black Panthers.
"We're not going to put up with her anti-police message," said Javier Ortiz with the Miami Fraternal Order of Police.
"Beyoncé used this year's Super Bowl to divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers and her anti-police message shows how she does not support law enforcement."
Beyoncé is launching her sold out 16-city Formation world tour on 27 April at Miami's Marlins Park.
Beyoncé gave a taste of her tour during her half-time performance at Super Bowl 50 wearing what appeared to be a bandolier of bullets and backed up by female singers in the Afros, black leather and berets of the Black Panthers.
