The Super Bowl Halftime Show took place approximately 10 million news cycles ago, but plenty of people are still fuming over Beyoncé's politically-conscious performance. According to TMZ, the world's premiere gossip intelligence agency, many NYPD officers (or at least the ones who talk to TMZ off-the-record) still want some sort of public apology/explanation of her Black Panther-referencing performance. And if she doesn't, there will be grave, serious, life-altering consequences...or probably not: "Our sources were quick to add they will fully protect Beyoncé when she's in NYC."

TMZ says that their source claims the "rank and file" are clamoring for Beyoncé to make some sort of public statement supporting the police:

Our NYPD sources admit they don't believe Beyonce was advocating hostility toward police in her homage to the Black Panthers. Problem is ... they say that's the way it came across for millions of viewers.

We're told cops are bitter and want her to publicly disavow violence or any other type of aggression toward police. While she's at it, they'd also like an explanation as to what she really meant.

WHAT DID SHE REALLY MEAN?! HOW/WHEN DID SHE REALLY MEAN IT?! AND BY THE WAY, WHAT IS 'IT' AGAIN?! ALL THIS BITTERNESS IS MAKING IT HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF THE INSINUATIONS!!

So if you're wondering who TMZ's "source" might be, we'd nudge you in the direction of one of the heads of the two biggest NYPD unions, both of whom have been the only NYPD-affiliated people (sorry Rudy Giuliani, no one wants to be affiliated with you except Life Lock) to speak out against Beyoncé.

"She should direct her message where it’s needed most, and that’s in the ’hood, because that’s where it all takes place,” Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association, said last weekend during a radio appearance. "So if the Black Lives Matter movement really wants to make a difference, they should pour the medicine directly on the wound," he said with great sensitivity. "Get into the ghetto, the ’hood. Get to the bottom of why people of color prey on other people of color in their own neighborhoods."

Police unions around the country have been the most riled up by the performance. The Miami Fraternal Order of Police said in a statement that it had voted to let its members boycott her show there (on April 27th) because it believed Beyoncé had used this year’s Super Bowl halftime show “to divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers.”

The NYPD's Sergeants Benevolent Association president Ed Mullins told WPIX he's thinking of encouraging a similar security boycott for her concert at Citi Field in June. "Law enforcement across the country has to make a statement that we're not bad guys and she's got to stop portraying us as bad guys," he said. He added that he'd like to "meet personally with Beyonce in hopes of getting her to stop her anti-police rhetoric," which sounds a whole lot like a superfan trying to find any excuse to get an autograph.

This hasn't been the only Beyoncé controversy since the Super Bowl performance and release of new single "Formation." The singer has been chastised for exploiting New Orleans trauma in her new video (while also praised for paying tribute to New Orleans queer culture); people are also upset that she's skipping New Orleans on her world tour.
