Surprised Trump did not find some way to donate them at an inflated price, take a hefty tax write off, and declare himself the most compassionate conservative in the universe.

It would be a good idea otherwise. But for now it goes on the back burner.

an officer went to the burger shop and acquired food which Roof ate in cuffs at the jail.

The Snopes article gives several reasons for it, notably to withold food would violate his civil rights and complicate any prosecution.

Everything else in your post is dead on.

And in that article..." 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."


Huh. Imagine
