I've been watching this unfold. Action Targets, which bought Law Enforcement Targets, tried to distance themselves from the situation. Now both have "apologies" posted on their Facebook pages:

"We apologize for the offensive nature of our “No More Hesitation” products. These products have been taken offline due to the opinions expressed by so many, including members of the law enforcement community.

This product line was originally requested and designed by the law enforcement community to train police officers for unusually complex situations where split-second decisions could lead to unnecessary loss of life.

Consistent with our company mission as a training supplier (not a training methods company), we will continue to seek input from law enforcement professionals to better serve their training objectives and qualification needs. We sincerely appreciate law enforcement professionals for the risks they take in providing safety and defending freedom."

The announcement of the purchase of LET:

We know who they think the enemy are.

White people in their own homes and yards and none of them were holding “assault rifles” either.

Those targets may have been taken “offline”, but will probably still be marketed behind the scenes. Disturbing.

I these are used for shoot/don’t shoot scenarios, I don’t have a problem with it.

Where are the minority-portrayed no hesitation targets.

Homeland Security is sick.

And then some question why we no longer consider the Federal government to have any legitimacy in ruling, I mean governing, us.

Hard to think of myself as a citizen of this corrupt mess any longer.

To be consistent they should also have targets of uniformed police officers. Then they can learn to shoot at their own, which are much more likely then pregnant moms and children to become a threat.

Everything is going according to plan. Obama needs his national civilian security force to be able to act against all threats!

Has hesitation been a big problem?

"one officer explaining that he enlarged photos of his own kids to use as targets so that he would not be caught off guard...."

 

Note to mom... Hide the kids, get a restraining order, be armed yourself for when the day comes....
