Florida Cops Used Mug shots of Black Men as Target Practice
So a woman enlisted in the Guard showed up at a gun range with her unit to practice right after the police were done using it and found old mug shots of black men were used as targets. To her horror, one of those old mug shots was of her (reformed and law abiding) brother.
Cops claimed its common to use pictures of actual people for target practice. Jeeze, around here people use dummy deer with bulls eye type targets taped to them. I think people would freak out if you used actual pictures. If you were a teenager doing that with your classmates then you'd probably get into trouble.

You are ahead of the news cycle AGAIN. I saw this last night on PBS world news. It seemed more shocking than I imagined. ...until I saw the photos with bullet holes though the eyes.

Really wrong on so many levels.

Yep! Its super disturbing. Honestly, gun culture in general is disturbing.
Now imagine if we found out they were using Robert's mug shot somewhere. Yeah, its just plain rotten they singled out black males for their exercise.
