re: Police in Florida use mugshots for target practice.

It's pieces of paper with a face on them. So what. 

They can use my picture for all I care. It's just a paper target

This is how I feel, paper targets aint cheap.

This is clearly intended to send a racist message in not so subtle reaction to the New York cop killings and the rage against cops in Ferguson MO.

This is stupid. Even if you were going to use actual pictures, the population in Miami is a huge mix of various races. You'd think at least one white and one latino would show up in that line up.

Now if you REALLY wanted to piss everybody off...put a woman on that list. A white woman.

If they use the standard body profile targets, they could be shooting anyone. At least here they're shooting people who have committed a crime

What's the problem with it?

Probably shouldn't admit this, but some of my class of future lawyers (this was way back in the early 2000's) would print out pictures of law professors and take them to a backwoods shooting range following final exams each semester. There was something cathartic about blasting away at those assholes after all the abuse they dished out. That and any kind of book, treatise, or other publication we didn't need for the Bar Exam. A .357 will do a number on a Louisiana Civil Code at close range--even if it's the gold-colored bicentennial edition that's like 4 inches thick.

It was usually an equal opportunity affair. We had future ADA's, future criminal defense, future ambulance chasers, and even future "respectable" members of the defense bar.

So in the police's defense, should they train for real life scenarios or use little circles to shoot at all day?

I got it and laughed. Even gave you an upvote. People get too jumpy with stuff nowdays.
