Police Chief Calls Images of White People Using Picture of Black Man for Target Practice a ‘Mistake’

Video of white people taking target practice using an image of a Black man has left many outraged in a local city.

Villa Rica Mayor Gil McDougal has ordered the images removed from social media and that’s not all. He’s also asked for an investigation into the matter.

Meanwhile, Police Chief Michael Mansour told Channel 2′s Tom Jones there was no sinister intent in posting the images.

“The perception of it looks like we have people just shooting at black guys and that’s not at all what it was,” he told Jones.

The police department posted a short video clip of white citizens using an image of a Black man for target practice at its firearms training course over the weekend. It also posted pictures. The post got more than 500 comments and more than 400 shares.

“They ran out of those targets at the range. And they put these targets up,” he continued, as he pointed to the image of the black man.
