PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. A police sergeant with the Port Canaveral Police Department has been fired after it was discovered he was conducting practice with targets resembling Trayvon Martin wearing a hoodie, reports CBS Orlando affiliate WKMG.
Sgt. Ron King, who had been with the Port Canaveral police force for two years, was fired for allegedly using them as target practice.
"Whether it was his stupidity or his hatred, (this is) not acceptable," said Port Authority interim CEO Jim Walsh.
Walsh said it happened at a training exercise earlier this month. King was teaching a shooting course to other officers and allegedly had the posters in his patrol car.

Regardless. It’s a POSTER!
And profiling is fact of police life.
“I think I’ll take incendiary posters involving a racially charged internationally watched trial and keep them in my patrol car. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?”
I wonder if they’d have fired him if he used George Zimmerman as a target? Kind of doubtful.
I bet they wouldn’t have fired him had he used a Conservative image as his target
Exactly what did he do that was illegal?
Pray tell, where is poor taste protected by the Constitution? If he was firing at a poster of the “Right to Bear Arms”, would that be OK?
It's OK to "target" white people, but not Eric Holder's people.
resembling? Trayvon Martin? resembling?
The Anthony Fremont Progressive Collective has spoken...
If I had a dog, it would look like the dog Obama ate.
I think it’s a lot more valid to use Trayvon’s image as a target than say, DHS using pregnant women, old men, old women, and children (all white as well) to desensitize their DHS and the like agents to fire on all kinds of white US citizens.
They want to talk racism, let’s talk racism.
Not only that, but I can’t help but think they are sending a blatant message to folks in Wisconsin. The little boy has a UW jersey on.
Has any action been taken on those pictures, that case?
When I first read that story I felt the same way. Desensitizing seems the reason. Can’t think of any other.
Should have used a generic baby. The pinkos would have called it “pro-choice.”
Exactly.
It’s OK to shoot kids with fake guns if they’re white.
That’s the message of all this $hit.
