You have brought a suspect in a serious crime to the police station. So far, he has been silent. You read him his Miranda rights when you handcuffed him, and you also made him sign a written version of the rights while he was sitting at the interrogation table. You ask him again if he would like to talk about what happened and, this time, he says, "You know, I am very hungry and my blood sugar is
starting to cause me some problems. Could you please give me some food, you lousy cop?" Angry, you leave the interrogation room for 20 minutes to fill out paperwork and let the suspect consider the situation. When you return, the suspect is even more agitated—demanding food, using profanity, and insulting you and your family. What should you do? What are the legal ramifications of your action or inaction? What will be an ideal response?
