At least in this case the guy did lose his job.......Respect you say?????
I once had a sheriff grab me by my neck and hold me against a cement wall a couple feet off the ground for skateboarding on a basketball court where not one other person was, let alone anyone trying to play ball. He let me down just before i passed out. I was 14 years old.Respect you say?????
DALLAS, February 28, 2013 — Minnesota-based Law Enforcement Targets, Inc (LET) has been awarded $5.5 million in contracts with the federal government, including $2 million with the Department of Homeland Security.
In light of this fact, it’s no wonder that the American people were outraged last week when it was uncovered that the firm had released a series of gun practice targets featuring a pregnant woman, a child, a young mother and grandparents.
This No More Hesitation series includes seven total targets, each subject armed: Pregnant Woman, seen in front of the backdrop of a nursery, Older Man 1, stands in his home, in front of a bookshelf and Older Man 2, Older Woman, is depicted in a bathrobe in her kitchen. The Young Mother, seen on a playground, is holding a toddler’s hand in one hand, gun in the other.
Then there is Young Girl standing in a driveway with a sack purse slung over her shoulder, and Little Brother, a very little person indeed, is depicted in a backyard with a privacy fence behind him. “Older man” stands in his home, in front of a bookshelf.
LET said that the targets were requested by law enforcement agencies and designed in order to “train police officers for unusually complex situations.”
A statement released to Reason’s Mike Riggs, states:
“The subjects in NMH targets were chosen in order to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training. I found while speaking with officers and trainers in the law enforcement community that there is a hesitation on the part of cops when deadly force is required on subjects with atypical age, frailty or condition (one officer explaining that he enlarged photos of his own kids to use as targets so that he would not be caught off guard with such a drastically new experience while on duty).
I once had a sheriff grab me by my neck and hold me against a cement wall a couple feet off the ground for skateboarding on a basketball court where not one other person was, let alone anyone trying to play ball. He let me down just before i passed out. I was 14 years old.
Thats the problem... this is being spun as some racial issue... it is not, that is simply how it is being portrayed in this string of similar cases..
The real issue here is that police kill some citizens, and maim others.... its training.
And just what are they shooting at on the police gun range these days you may ask...
