碧昂斯反警言论引发联合抵制

 MIAMI -- Not everyone enjoyed Beyoncé’s performance at the Super Bowl. Some police unions are calling on officers to boycott¹ her concerts -- over what they say is a dangerous message.

迈阿密——不是每个人都喜欢碧昂斯在美国超级碗中的表演。一些警察工会正在呼吁官员联合抵制她的演唱会——他们说这场演唱会将传播危险的信息。

碧昂斯和她的伴舞在超级碗中穿着向黑豹党（美国黑人组织）致敬的衣服，黑豹党以和警察对峙闻名。因此，一些执法官员说这位巨星做得有些超出常规。

We’re not going to put up with her anti-police message, Javier Ortiz with the Miami Fraternal Order of Police said.

迈阿密共济会警方的哈维尔·奥尔蒂斯说“我们将不会再忍受她的反警言论。”

现在一些警察工会负责人正在呼吁警官拒绝为碧昂斯即将到来的世界巡演演唱会提供安保——演唱会门票已经在16个城市售罄。

纳什维尔总统共济会的警察说道：“对于那些传播执法部门攻击黑人市民的虚假叙述的艺术家的努力，我们要求警察拒绝支持。”
