Cops use pictures of black men for target practice

[aXiom]

“And I was like, why is my brother being used for target practice?,” Deant said to NBC Miami. The image of her brother’s face had a bullet hole through his eye and his forehead. Deant said she broke down and cried.

“She said oh my God, they use you as target practice,” Woody Deant said. “People that are out there who are suppose to be protecting us are using us as target practice.”

Deant’s mugshot was from an arrest made 15 years ago. He spent four years in prison for a drag-racing accident that claimed two lives. However, he says those days are long behind him and that he is now a family and career man.

North Miami Police Chief J. Scott Dennis told NBC Miami that they didn’t violate any regulations and that the practice of using images of real people is not limited to his department. He claims that the use of real pictures are important for facial recognition training and that they do use images of non-blacks as well.

“Our policies were not violated. There is no discipline that’s forthcoming from the individuals regarding this,” Dennis said.

Dennis did say that he is concerned about the use of Deant’s photo because it happens to be an individual who was arrested by the same precinct and somebody who would be on the streets of North Miami Beach.

NBC6 spoke to several law enforcement agencies and they all said that they only use computer generated images distributed by commercial vendors and not images of real people.

“The use of those targets doesn’t seem correct. The police have different options for targets,” said retired FBI agent Alex Vasquez.

Yeah, not surprising. I remember hearing cops using targets that had a picture of a hoodie on them(an trayvon reference).

They made Trayvon Martin targets too. It's sociopathic sickening behavior.

Can't say I'm surprised.

But the fact that everything is so fukked up that I'm not surprised anymore? That fukking hurts.

Why do some people so hateful sometimes man? This fukking hurts.

It is crazy how much white people think about us. And it's mostly the low/lower-mid socioeconomic whites doing it. Losers
