One part I’m not getting though is why is it ok to say something like this in GD but not in GQ? To me it’s inflammatory bordering on trolling to say it twice in the same thread after being warned, and whether it’s in GQ or GD shouldn’t matter. I guess it does, however. > [@Shooting of Walter Scott: a death penalty case under South Carolina law?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shooting-of-walter-scott-a-death-penalty-case-under-south-carolina-law/717134/17): > > Now that we are in GD, I’d like to point out, as a matter of documented fact, that in the United States, black men are summarily executed with some regularity by police forces. To wit, Eric Garner was summarily executed for selling loose cigarettes. Walter Scott was summarily executed for allegedly driving with a non-operational tail light, and then framed for stealing and brandishing a taser. This is not unusual in the US. What has changed is that now virtually everyone has in their form of a mobile phone a video/audio recording device on their person and that people are now recording many of the incidents they see and are not directly involved with. > > Here’s another of a woman being beaten: [http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/07/05/3456686/california-highway-patrol-beat-woman/](http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/07/05/3456686/california-highway-patrol-beat-woman/) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/colibri-is-wrong-about-walter-scott/717243)._
