I almost do not have words for this.
I understand that not every criminal is wearing a mask and a T-Shirt that says “I am the bad guy” but do we really need to train police officers to fire upon pregnant women and teens without hesitation?

I don't have a problem with the pictures themselves, but rather the fact that they're titled "No Hesitation" targets. Uhh...
Personally, I think that "hesitation" is just a negative synonym of "stop and reassess the situation". Why lives have been lost through hesitation, lives have also been saved.
In any case, any cop who wouldn't hesitate to shoot a pregnant woman or a young child (even if they're holding a gun) is a sociopath. There- I said it.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around those photos. Looking at some of that company's other products, I think they sell alot more product to the private sector.
I have shot female targets (shoot/ no shoot) that were designed to get LE out of the mindset that females can't be "bad guys" but nothing close to this.
Those targets are repulsive and serve no purpose other than to desensitize "someone" to shooting anyone for any reason.

Just a matter of time before technology catches up. In a few years, warrant-specific targets will be produced for cops to practice on before each police-civilian encounter.
Also - those targets were extremely racist.

Uh, where's the one where the COP is Pointing a Gun at THEM?
A pregnant woman shot a cop in Pheonix in 2011
A 14/15 year old boy killed his whole family with his dad's rifle and planned to do the same to his girlfiend's family. He also planned to die in a shoot out with the cops.
A 65 year old woman sent her pitbull after animal control, the cops were called and her and her husband were shot by the cops during a shoot out that they started.
No matter how you hash it, the worlds is a scary ugly place where things just go bad sometimes. Everyoone makes a big stink about the targets depiction of who's holding the gun. The bottom line, they are holding a gun. If you want to be flower children, that's fine. But the reality of it is that we are not as civilized as we want to be. I've been all around this green and blue ball, and I've seen 6 year olds shooting winchester revolvers at LEOs. I've seen 10 year olds wield and apply AK-47s. You want a reality check? Stop in Oakland or Compton, CA.
