The New York Police Department is calling on Beyonce to apologize for the Super Bowl 50 halftime show performance.

“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,” TMZ reported.

Police have continued to advocate for a boycott of Beyonce’s concert over the halftime performance, with officers in Miami becoming particularly vocal with their disdain.

HuffPost reports:

The Miami Fraternal Order of Police has voted to have all law enforcement officers boycott Beyoncé’s concert which is being held at the Miami Marlins Stadium on Wednesday, April 26, 2016,” Ortiz said in a statement. “The fact that Beyoncé used this year’s Super Bowl to divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers and her antipolice message shows how she does not support law enforcement.” The organization urged other law enforcement agencies around the country to do the same.

Beyonce’s reps have yet to comment.
