Parents of scouts outraged with Black targets in police firing range
A recent field trip to the Farmington Hills Police Department by a scout troop is receiving criticism not because of anything they heard – but for what they saw.

Do better?🤣🤣🤣 They can’t
And I’m supposed to be patriotic about what now? I don’t think so.
And Black Women who they serve pork they clean entire cell (2)mattresses toilets sink with (1) small baby wet wipe
Video evidence present
They should put up all pics of trump to prove there not racist 🤨 let’s see that 🤨🤨🤨
This is AmeriKKKA! Nothing won’t change!
Why did the black targets have better accuracy
Back in the day they used targets that were black silhouette of a bald man on a white background sometimes had black target circles growing in size outward from the center point they were never meant to represent a race just a human. I thought that is what the story was going to be about. But no I was wrong, police actually used photos of black men in a target shooting demonstration in front of children, let that sink in…. She has every right to be outraged these are little kids they shown this to not just the typical 18-20 year old police cadets.
They shouldn’t be using any pictures of any race for target practice
I think they should have red, white and blue targets also 😀🤣
Those pigs wanted to show those kids how one of their easiest methods of earning paid administrative leave
Yawn…..nobody cares
Maybe they should have targets of big black bears. And Evan white Polar Bears.
And this is surprising lol
Who cares, why is this news. Just because you get your feelings hurt every 2 seconds doesn’t mean it should make the news. Move on already and stop getting offended at every little thing.
hahahahahahaha
Well now you know why Jayland walker a black person was shot 60 times. If you didn’t know, now you know.
The problem was the black targets where running away.
Sad shit!!! Smfh… SICKENING!!!! 2022 WOWWWWW!!!! FIRE EVERYONE IN THERE!!!!! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEE!
I hope IT hurts
The police job is to keep Black people under constant terror and when they get a inchy trigger finger We will always be their targets,That’s why you see those images as target practice.
Being on a shooting range most targets are black buy hey use color as an excuse for everything getting old!Most targets are on tan paper painted black color has nothing to do with it it a matter of seeing your target they set them so far back you gotta see them and the racist stupidity carries on!
the fbi crime stats say the targets are correct
We’ll that’s because almost ALL crime is committed by the ones who Jog
Well it is a 98% Chance you get attacked by Jamal than some Chinese dude walking down the street these days.
Big Mama over here getting mad about the reality of life , thanks for the laugh !!
Bunch of karens
Don’t people get to pick their target photo?
I promise you… her kids went to all white highschools
Riddle me this Batman 🤔 how can 13% also be 50%
there is plenty of diversity in those targets. I use realistic targets as well, they come in packs 100+ of about 5 or 6 different packs, but they are STACKED TOGETHER. So if you just grab a handful out of the package they will all be the same image. I go through and pull out different ones each time. Laziness? yes. Less than effective training? yes. Proof that the department is hunting black men on the streets and proudly displaying that when the public tours their facilities? I genuinely doubt it. Racists do find their way into positions of power for sure, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. This would easily be the biggest case of department wide racism if it was true. Could it be true? Sure, but I would need a little more evidence to show me some lazy ass didn’t just grab the first 4 targets that happened to be at the top of the pack, as again, the images are in batches. 20 targets of this image, 20 of that each in a row. which one is more likely?
How dare you. We only shoot at white inanimate objects.
people are too sensitive thease days
13/50? 🤔
When the army went from round targets to silhouettes the kill rate went up by 60 %, it is called subconscious conditioning, or reflex response.
This type of training conditions the cops to you know what.
White men feel so emasculated by BM, they resorted to this.
Crazy bro crazy and you wander why cop are so quick to draw the gunn smh
Sorry to say we will always be crooked cops targeted practice
Thank You strong BLACK Queen!!! Ms. Dionne Webster-Cox! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Diversity? Target range ought not have any color but just an outline.
I mean have u seen the people who commit the majority of crimes
There’s literally no better targets
cry about it
Well that answers the question, "What do the police do when they are not shooting Black people?"
They shoot images of Black people.
Guarantee every cop in that department voted for trump
To review:
85% of the targets these cops shoot at are Whites (11 targets).
15% of the targets these cops shoot at are Blacks (2 targets).
There is great outrage that the percentage of Black targets is above zero.
There is no outrage that the percentage of White targets is almost 100.
This concludes today’s lesson on "wHiTe fRaGiLiTy."
For homework, please research: "Crime statistics by race."
Its a Black male fight, not a Black woman’s. Fall back and leave these useless Black males to fight their own battles, yet we see most are cowards.
Holy Sh*t.If you are a new cadet coming into that police department even with no built in inherent bias ,you will develop some before long.Images are extremely powerful. With the ability to be burnt into the conscious as well as subconscious mind.Now imagine if you are a cop and you have to make a split second life and death decision.Even with the best of training, the survival mode instinct is going to kick in in a hurry. I don’t care what race you are.WTF are these people thinking. And life size images to boot.At least make all those targets race neutral for Christ Sake.You know i used to mock and ridicule MICHAEL JACKSON for the fact that he intentionally made sure that his children would look racially ambiguous. The man was a genius. It wasn’t because he was ashamed of who he was.He was just dealing with the brutal reality of existing as an easily identifiable Black person in this society. Every Black man in this society will tell you how people will automatically tense up when crossing their path.And that includes Black people themselves. BECAUSE it is ingrained in us that every visibly Black person is automatically evil and dangerous. Man I am thinking to myself we really can’t understand and relate to each other.
They want you to paint them rainbow color next time. GOID LUCK ON SEEING THAT TARGET !
THIS IS THE THIN BLUE LINE OF AMERICA, ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL, POLICE CULTURE.
I legit thought it was a Russian until I looked closer
