Snopes ratings are on the truth of the specific claims they are investigating, not on the truth of every claim in the source that contains the specific claims they are rating.
The claim being reviewed in this particular case is that Roof as taken to Burger King by the police. That claim is false, and so "False" is the correct rating for Snopes to give.
That the article also has other claims, and that some or all of them may be true, is irrelevant. A false claim does not get upgraded to mixed just because some different claims in the same source are not false.
