Hollywood celebrities, including Queen Latifah, Idris Elba, and Angela Bassett, are demanding that studios cut their ties with police departments, which usually provide security for movie and TV shoots as well as glitzy events like the annual Academy Awards ceremony.
They are also calling on studios to stop producing “anti-black content” — which they defined as shows and movies that glorify police brutality and dehumanize or criminalize black people.
The demands are contained in an open letter that has been signed by a slew of notable black Hollywood stars including Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis, Janelle Monáe, Octavia Spencer, Billy Porter, Tiffany Hadish, and Kerry Washington.
“We know these changes have the power to change Black lives in America. It is time for Hollywood to acknowledge its role and take on the responsibility of repairing the damage and being a proactive part of the change,” the letter states. “We demand better. Prove that Black Lives Matter to Hollywood by taking bold moves to affirm, defend and invest in Black lives. Follow the examples of the Minneapolis School District, Denver Public Schools, the University of Minnesota and many other institutions in divesting from the policing system and investing in Black community.
The letter is asking studios to “commit to no police on sets or events or for any other purposes.” For security, they suggest using private security officers from the SEIU-USWW labor union — but only if those individuals drop their ties with police unions.
I hope the studios will fully agree to their demands. Let these fine paragons of thespian ability find out what life is like beyond their gated mansions, when the officers of the law are no longer there to protect them. Reality is a harsh mistress.

The problem is that they will purchase private security. And that’s a key problem with the elitist liberals: they have the money to buy their way out from the consequences of liberal policies, while still paying lip service to those very damaging policies. Damaging to someone else, that is.
I can't wait until the next Million Moron March goes to Hollywood to burn that down. The Hollywood elites might break a fingernail trying to dial 911 and then complain when nobody shows up.
Hollywood should house released felons to help gov newsom on release program
Tear down their walls and lay off their armed security -open borders and blm lived by our celebrities
They are also asking for no anti-black content! So I guess no black criminals or drug lords? No black villains. This is getting absolutely ridiculous.
So that would mean that all dramas or cop movies would have only whites as the criminals? How about just reflecting reality, and having the scumbags be black half the time and white half the time?
