I thought LE was trained to be suspicious

I get the “suspicious” part, I don’t get the over-reaction. If I were in uniform would I get same treatment, I seriously doubt it. Did you hear the officer say at some point, “why didn’t you stop?”. A reasonable man would have accepted a reasonable answer and moved on to the reason for the Lt. being stopped. The over-reaction was unnecessary and you know it.

After killing 9 people and a 16 hour chase, Charleston shooting suspect Dylann Storm Roof got a free meal from police on his way to jail. They went to Burger King....privilege?

You made that up. They did not take him to Burger King on the way to jail.

From Shelby Police Chief Jeff Ledford’s account "With the department’s phone ringing nonstop in the background, the young suspect with the bowl-cut hair was locked away in a second-floor conference room with an officer watching over him.

“Organized chaos,” Ledford later called it. “Because there were so many moving parts.”

Including feeding the unexpected arrestee.

“He hadn’t eaten, they said, in a couple of days,” [Pastor Strickland] Maddox said. “They bought him a hamburger. They just sent out for it. I guess one of the police officers went and picked it up.”

Ledford confirmed that this purchase was made.

“He did have something to eat while he was there, and he was secured in cuffs the entire time,” the chief said."

My question is why did not other people that died when law enforcement put their knee on their neck, got the same attention?

Never said they took him to Burger King, Police brought Dylann Roof some Burger King after he had murdered 9 Black people, George Floyd was accused of forgery.

It is fivoulous and irrelevant that he got a burger. That he was allowed to purchase firearms is relevent. His initial application was put on hold by the ATF for further investigation. BY LAW the ATF/FBI have 3 days from the inital application to deny the purchase. The firearm dealer did NOT recieve a denial from the ATF within 3 days and by law is required to make the sale. This sad and tragic incident was preventable if not for another failure of the federal government.

Will more gun control laws make a difference when the existing ones are ignored???

Ed I get it black men are scared LE is on edge, you're still supposed to comply to a lawful request. I don't know how long you've been retired, but the disrespect LE is getting these days is growing dramaticly. I know of no other profession that has to put up with it. Call your cable provider and start cursing at them and see if they accept it. How about your wife, would she put up with it in her job? You're a big constitutionalist, go into a court room and demand your 1st amendment right use profanity at the judge, you would be taking out in handcuffs. I talk to LE on regular basis, it's becoming worse every day.

Couple things to remember: respect is earned and it is a two way street. As I recall each and every cop car I see states somewhere “to serve and protect”, that means everyone. My wife and I have too many family members that are LE including herself who wore a badge for 15 years. She is appalled by the actions of some of these officers. Maybe a little internal policing would be helpful.
