Police Chief Says Dylann Roof Was Taken to Burger King Shortly After Arrest

Rather than disparity, it's a matter of how the schedule is stacking up, what's convenient, and other factors. Who pays for this? It's usually the cop him/herself.

I recently read this book called The Job by Steve Osborn, a former NYC cop who wrote a book about his experience as an officer. Later Osborn went on "The Moth" and became popular all over the United States, even with liberals. Actually, especially with liberals, but that's beside the point.

He explains in the book that cops often do buy a burger or hot dog for the prisoner. In fact, in this book, one chapter is called "hotdog."

They do this for a variety of reasons, many of which are explained upthread by the posters who say this is not unusual. Sometimes, for example, the way the day is stacking up, the prisoner might have to wait for a long time to get a meal. This means the cop has to wait a long time, too. And maybe, just maybe, the cop would like to get home or off duty at the time he or she is supposed to. That is just one reason a cop might buy a prisoner a meal.

Also, in the book, it did not matter what ethnicity or race the prisoner was.

The cop is responsible for that prisoner clear through the collar to booking.

People on this thread act like the cop should take personal affront to Roof and begin early punishment by letting him go hungry. Well, to that I would say, the system has some standards and that is not one of them.

Furthermore, cops learn early to build a wall around their own personal feelings about what perpetrators do. They have to do this to protect themselves and stay on the job.
