Doesn’t have to be black or white, how about a non-binary with rainbow face paint?

I’m offended by Alarm Company advertisements only using white people as the perpetrators.

“”life-sized photo of a black man wearing a beanie and pointing a handgun””

Keeping it real - except it should have been a hoodie and not a beanie....

Instead of apologizing, they should have released a statement that said: “We have dozens of trainings and have used targets that have depicted whites, asians, hispanics, and blacks. In fact, it would be discrimination not use photos of black people. Take your race-baiting and go stuff it.”

My God.

What childish bastards we have for “citizens”.

I’m sure there was NEVER a photo of a white trailer-trash dude.

Furthermore, did these undoubtedly miscreant rioters-to-be ever think of doxing the black dude who dared pose for the photo? He’s an Uncle Tom feeding into the white man’s narrative!

That’s the Ruby Ridge shooting range.

I remember the 1970s when firearm groups came under criticism for using the silhouette of what appears to be a black man running for their targets.
In the early 1980s the same target appeared labeled “The Running Iranian.”

In the old days it was a black man holding a white woman hostage. 😏

Does anyone sell life size “I did that” decals? Asking for a friend.

Every lowlife criminal in the history of 1970s television was slavic. A black perp was allowed only in R-rated TV shows.

If they were shooting at a picture of a White person, that wouldn’t even be mentioned.

That depends upon the white person's LGBTQ+ status.

The line of these were sold to the Feds as “No Hesitation” targets.

There are old men and women, kids like above, pregnant women etc. They were ment to de-humanize the images they might see like these and simply shoot to kill no matter what the circumstances involved.

Just like police shooting a golden retriever that is barking but not being aggressive with no remorse or hesitation, these were meant to do the same for humans as well

“He” identified as a white supremacist woman. What is your problem?

Back in the mid to late 80’s the NAACP made the Florida FBI destroy 500 Targets of a Black man holding a gun. A friend of mine snagged one and gave it to me.

The FBI used an image of Dillinger (who was White) for years. They’re just sharing the luv ‘sall.

Next in the barrel might be the Dalai Lama (who is Asian) or Graham Greene (who is a red Indian).

First thing that came to mind was the Magnum Force shooting competition scene. Notice all the targets are white, and this movie was made in 1973.
