I find the whole thing racist that they are all white people.

Stole the words out of my fingers.

If I had a shooting target it'd look just like...

if you think about it, there may not be a baby in that lump but 30# of C4. Though thats the kind of training they need in Pakistan, not here.
Just remember this next time you hear news vilifying human silhouette targets.

Only a matter of time...Nice to see PD finally taking steps to better train officers with these targets. The first time they see a threat like that and have to fix their OODA loop, it shouldn't be in a real house. Now for them to start using role players like that in FoF scenarios and other training events.

If you see two of those targets, you are probably already shot.

Does that "older man with shotgun" look somewhat similar to a member on this forum?

Infowars is just repeating the story, it's all over the Internet.

Here is LETarget's response:

"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). This hesitation time may be only seconds but that is not acceptable when officers are losing their lives in these same situations. The goal of NMH is to break that stereotype on the range, regardless of how slim the chances are of encountering a real life scenario that involves a child, pregnant woman, etc. If that initial hesitation time can be cut down due to range experience, the officer and community are better served."

Personally, I prefer targets of toddlers and infants. But pregnant chicks will do for now.

There nothing better than a day at the range, shooting targets of 6 year old boys. Man... makes me wish we had some targets of some mentally retarded kids to shoot. That would be even more fun.

Ohhh!! I know. How about an infant or even a fetus. That would be good shooting...

I really don't see a legitimate need for these, unless you're trying to desensitize the FEMA corps...or finish desensitizing them.

BINGO! We have a winner.
