Why does it have to be “Shoot and kill.” Lets see what they do behind the scenes without the guns.
I heard Dylann Roof, the Charlestown white supremacist clown who shot up the black church was taken to Burger King.
Blacks get knee to the neck for 8 minutes for a counterfeit bill. Or in Freddie grey’s case, they legitimately break your neck.
Police brutality.
Guess you "Heard" wrong:
Roof was given food inside of the precinct where he was being held. The police precinct did not have the means to feed him, and the nearest place to get food was Burger King. Food was BROUGHT to him, he was NOT taken to Burger King
While the original Charlotte Observer article’s mention of Burger King was fleeting and not well detailed, that sole description stated that police “bought” Roof food from Burger King, not that they “brought him to Burger King” (which conjured up a slightly unnerving scenario under which a suspected spree killer was essentially handled with kid gloves, taken out to mingle with patrons at the restaurant of his choice, and even perhaps gifted a paper crown).
However, the explanation for the Burger King detail in the story involving Dylann Roof could stem from laws pertaining to the rights of a prisoner in custody. A post-arrest rights violation checklist published on FindLaw details circumstances under which an individual could later claim their rights were violated, one of which is a withholding of food:
A criminal suspect is entitled to humane treatment, no matter how heinous the alleged crime. If you were not treated humanely, for instance if you were deprived of food and water or if you were beaten either during police questioning or while in a holding cell, your rights may have been violated.
The website of a criminal lawyer practicing in South Carolina addressed conditions under which a confession or other information gathered during the questioning of a suspect could later be deemed inadmissible due to possible coercion, which also included a scenario in which food was denied:
Was the accused offered food, water, or allowed bathroom breaks?
Was the accused deprived of food or sleep during the interrogation while he was in custody?
Dylann Roof was apprehended between 10 and 11 AM on 18 June 2015, and the circumstances under which he was provided with food from Burger King prior to his arraignment were not entirely clear. At the time of Roof’s arrest, the Charleston shooting was a worldwide headline and the case had already escalated to the level of a major news story.
One could speculate that Roof’s status (pending interrogation by federal agents) put him outside the facility’s standard process for providing food to inmates or suspects, or that Roof was indeed handled in a manner atypical from that of most arrestees, or that local police employed an abundance of caution with a very high-profile suspect to avoid his later making claims of mistreatment or denial of rights.
Regardless of all the straightforward reasons why police would provide food to a suspect in their custody, the plain explanation is that Roof hadn’t eaten in days, and the Shelby PD didn’t have the facilities to house him and provide him with meals while waiting for federal and Charleston authorities to arrive, so they had to dispatch someone to a nearby business to pick up some food for him:
