A Georgia police department has come under fire for using a photo of a black man for target practice in a civilian firearms class — which the agency’s top cop claimed was an “innocent mistake.”

The Villa Rica Police Department, which held a handgun safety class on Saturday, posted images on Facebook of a life-sized photo of a black man wearing a beanie and pointing a handgun, NBC News reported.

The agency also shared video of white citizens shooting at the image of the black man, according to WSB-TV.

The images and footage, which have since been deleted, sparked outrage in the community about 33 miles west of Atlanta.

Some took screenshots of the incendiary posts and voiced their anger online.

OH, I can think of lots of full sized photos I would love to use as targets.

Most of them are what they call “PUBLIC SERVANTS”!
