As a means to connect to the little dirt bag so as to obtain information? Perhaps he didn't act alone? Perhaps there were others? Perhaps there was important information they could have provided? This is a fairly common tactic. I am not apologizing for police abuse but providing burger king is not condemning in itself in my opinion.
