Roof is toast and will hopefully be put to death. If he doesn't deserve the death penalty for slaughtering innocent people, I don't know who does.

As to the cop Slager, if I remember correctly, he shot an unarmed guy in the back multiple times who was running away.
Unless there is something bizarre that I am unaware of, this is a clear case of abuse of authority. My understanding is that the only time a LEO is justified in shooting a fleeing suspect is if he poses an immediate threat to the public (i.e. murderer, escaped felon, etc.).
I never heard that this guy met that criteria, so I have no clue why this cop shot him to death.

Therefore based on what I have read/heard, he should be convicted of at least some type of homicide, probably murder 2 at most, manslaughter at the least.

That's the angle.

I know, pretty insane but we are dealing with the SJW mentality here.
Well show me white cops giving an African American a hamburger fries and drink after they' murdered 9 innocent white Caucasian inside their church building.

And I will believe your twisted logic abour everything that you just said.

What does typically occur in the wake of a mass tragedy is the obligatory (excuse me if I sound jaded) firearm lawsuits:

Quote:
...Lawyers for three people who survived the attack and the estates of five who were slain say the FBI negligently failed to conduct a thorough background check before Roof bought the gun last year.

If the agency had done its job, Roof's prior drug arrest would have shown up, and the bureau would have denied his purchase, the lawsuits filed Thursday allege.

Attorney Andy Savage said Friday that his clients hope the litigation will lead to improvements in gun safety. ...

& if the name Andy Savage sounds familiar, there's a reason - the lawyer representing Dylann Roof’s victims is also representing the cop who shot Walter Scott.

I have no idea if he is or isn't. I'm not a psychologist.
Regardless of why I want him to get juiced. I think they found him technically sane which means there's less red tape in giving a death penalty verdict. I just hope it gets done before the progressives abolish the death penalty.

News flash, people don't die of starvation within an hour of starting to feel hungry.

Suspects don't usually get fast food delivered to them in custody after killing multiple innocent people...
They are required to feed prisoners at certain times of the day.

It sounds like you're heavily speculating to prove some sort of nonexsitant conspiracy theory.
If the cops were on Roof's side wouldn't they just let him go? Or "not find" him?
Cops are more afraid of lawyers than anything. They most likely were playing by the book given the high profile the case was.

Claim that. Own that. Admit that your own problems exist. Admit that there is something about white american culture that creates this mass shooters more than other groups.
And you are an expert?, he could very well be mentally ill, but that does not mean he didn't know what he was doing. In my opinion, anyone who does this type of act has something wrong mentally, normal people don't do these types of things.

Whites also, but you don't see that anymore.

I imagine it's the same rules that go along with concealed weapons permits. I think it's a given you're not supposed to blast somebody when they're running from you.
