Family Outraged After North Miami Beach Police Use Mug Shots as Shooting Targets

We, the Black community, are asked to obey when stopped by the police. Those not of our ilk say we should do just that.

I also think we should, however, we, that community, know that is sometimes not enough and fear raises it's self survival head.

Notice, the only ethnicity displayed were Black Americans. If this doesn't educate other ethnics who only believe what the media tells them, I don't know what will.

We're not treated the same when stopped as other races. That's a fact not something made up.

This article may surprise some, others, maybe not.

Good heavens. Aside from the fact that a lot of cops seem to be utterly tone deaf, and aside from the fact that this shows incredibly poor judgment especially right now . . . I just feel so bad for that woman. How would you feel if you saw snipers using a picture of your brother for target practice?

Here's another picture that is used for target practice by police:

As you can imagine, it was quite a hit in St. Louis.

Don't even get me started. Que up the polarizing sides to be sure. Que up my views of most cops as being bullying POS. Cue my certainty that most cops are racist. The Chief of Police should be fired for his arrogance and generally being a POS (bleep). Cue up NWA. (bleep) Tha Police!

I guess subliminally racist targets ( http://multimedia.collectorsquest.com/image/420x1000/target-practice-for-maynard-3237.jpg?1266844948 ) weren't enough.

So there's no confusion. I'm joking. Just trying to make light of another disturbing racial police incident.

I guess it's a step forward from using actual black guys as target practice...?

I remember when cops were up in arms about Ice-T's "Cop Killer" song because of the way it depicted the imagery of killing they're own. So of course they'd never extend that line of thinking to the general public.

Sometimes I wonder how people can be so disconnected from the time they're living in. This is one of them times. It's not just the dastardly deed itself, it's often the sheer lack of cover-up that astounds me on a pragmatic level. You might think they'd at least know enough to not leave the sh lying around. It's ponderous on 2 levels. Two-tier ponderousness if you will. Tier 1: hostile. Tier 2: stupid.

Hostile, stupid cops. Oof. Bad combo.

LG brothers who happen to be brothas: Please don't vacation in Florida. It ain't worth it. We get plenty of sunshine here. That state is making TEXAS look good in recent years.

Now that I think of it, Tier 3 is probably "incurable innocence". They're always above reproach and there's always a "logical" explanation for misdeeds, but that's not just police in Florida.

If I use pictures of cops for target practice, will I get in trouble?
