No more hesitation!
As I was typing...... ;-)
Justified.
I recall seeing this awhile back. I don’t know if these are legit training targets are internet created fake news. If real, then it would be valid to point out that in scenario training, you don’t always get confronted by the gang banger with mask and gun, and you might have to make some less than black and white decisions. On the other hand, if these types of targets were being used to desensitize LEO from shooting anything or anyone including little Mikey who found this Saturday night special in a ditch while playing with his friends, than that would be a problem. Maybe some current LEO’s can comment.
It’s a sick world. It’s not okay.
However, I will say that at least is *those* targets, the threat is *actually* brandishing a weapon.
They’re not reaching for a wallet or trying to pull up their gym shorts.
