These Celebrities Hate Cops, But Are Happy to Collect a Paycheck While Playing One

#11: Danny Glover

Danny Glover co-starred alongside Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon franchise from 1987-1998 as Detective Roger Murtaugh.  I once had a black partner in my career as a cop here in the real world claim I was his real-life Martin Riggs.  It’s safe to say I heard him quote Glover’s Murtaugh with “I’m too old for this sh*t” on more than a few occasions.  If you expected the 70 year-old Glover to be an “old school” guy, you’re dead wrong – as he’s got nothing but glowing things to say about the ultra-divisive Black Lives Matter group famous for chants like “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!” and “Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon!”

#10: Will Smith

Throughout his storied career, Smith has played a police officer several times, but he’s arguably most famously known for his role as Miami PD Narcotics Detective Mike Lowrey of the Bad Boys franchise.  While they are undoubtedly entertaining, the films feature Smith as a playboy living in a posh beachfront Miami condo and driving a Porsche 911 Turbo – all on a cop’s salary! Yet it was Smith, not the world’s most wealthy detective that he plays, who donated 150K to Louis Farrakhan’s “Justice Or Else!” march in September of 2015 – just one month after Farrakhan called for “10,000 fearless men” to kill whites and police officers. You’re a fine actor, Will, but shame on you.
