Company selling targets with images of Americans to DHS for firearms training
examiner.com ^ | Feb 19, 2013 | BY: RYAN KELLER

Law Enforcement Targets, Inc., a company that sells law enforcement and federal agencies “realistic” paper targets for firearms training, is providing the Department of Homeland Security with images of “non-traditional threats.”

The people in these images are most likely Americans, with such images as “’pregnant woman threat,’ ‘older man with shotgun,’ ‘older man in home with shotgun,’ ‘older woman with gun,’ ‘young school aged girl,’ ‘young mother on playground,’ and ‘little boy with real gun,’” writes Paul Joseph Watson on Tuesday.

As Watson points out, there would have to be a demand among the agencies to which the company sells in order to put these products on the market.

Law Enforcement Target’s Web site declares that these targets are “designed to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training,” and are “meant to help the transition for officers who are faced with these highly unusual targets for the first time.”

The line of images is called "No More Hesitation," implying that law enforcement shouldn't hesitate to kill these people just because they're Americans.

Speculation that the DHS is preparing for fighting within the United States has abounded for some time. Over the last year, the department has purchased nearly 2 billion rounds of hollow point ammunition of various calibers, enough to fight a 30 year war and shoot every American man, woman and child four times.

If the http://www.letargets.com site is legitimate, then they are apologizing for something on their front page...left side.

“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.”

If the targets are “highly unusual,” why is training to deal with them needed?

No, family pets are the responsibility of your local police department.

So one question. Where is their target featuring a US Soldier? Where is there target where cops should be ready to shoot at uniformed police officer with “no hesitation”?

Indeed.

Yea.... I guess that’s why the company has the following text up in a box on the left side of their home page:

“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 see input from law enforcement professionals to better serve their training objectives and qualifications needs. We sincerely appreciate law enforcement professionals for the risks they take in providing safety and defending freedom.”

Here’s where that frame leads on their web site:

So: Please explain to me why they’d be apologizing for something made from “whole cloth?”

If it was made from ‘whole cloth’, why can I still find it in the Google cache for the pages on letargets.com? Or, more specifically, why can I find it sourced on their server, just not with a linkage you can find from their index page?

Not very lifelike.

How big do you expect otherwise helpless individuals to be?

So what law enforcement agency has purchased and used the targets? Why are the targets the same size as nearly all of the targets the company has listed on line, 23"x35"? There are few adults that size.

As an example, are you less than 3 feet tall?
