Defend herself by pointing a gun at a LEO?
Again, we are making lots of assumptions.
She's pictured standing in a nursery by a crib. Considering how many times SWAT teams have busted down the wrong door recently - in at least one instance I can think of WITHOUT identifying themselves, I'd say this target is making a tragedy that much more likely.
To quote a friend, "no-knock warrants are the most retarded thing ever for LEOs". IMHO, whoever decided that shit is a good idea needs to be shot, 'cause it's just asking for trouble. How the hell would you react if your front door was kicked/blown in and people big guns were rushing into your house? Odds are you'd go into fight-or-flight mode, and not have any idea WTF is happening.
this is a non-story in my opinion. training (to be effective) has to be as realistic as possible. LEO's for years have been using the video "shoot/don't shoot" scenarios -with pictures of common everyday citizens
whether the person on the target is a pregnant woman or whoever else - this is called life in the big city.....people from all walks of life can be a threat to police.
coming up with training scenarios or training aids to help them survive is no more a story than the crap i took earlier this morning

and trust me - at almost 50.....a good healthy crap is A BIG DEAL and news worthy
I sent the link to my Hubby & he wrote back to me and said a little research shows that DHS are not buying these, they are just made by the company that DHS buys targets from. This is the kind of bullshit that Alex Jones is famous for. He wrote that Alex Jones is a paranoid,tinfoil hat wearing government conspiracy type.
Many of you don't think these targets have existed for years, used by LEO's all over the country? Get a grip, these have been around a LONG time. The range of targets available is astounding, ranging from terrorists to kids to women to the prototypical street thug.
Targets Online , Its Time For A Better Target
Law Enforcement Targets website is done, once it comes back up look at ALL of the available targets.

Agreed AJ lives off disinformation like this, but were this true, it's a threatening feeling that stateside LE is training on targets made to look like you and me, "normal people". If I go to the range and tack up targets that look like DHS and LE officers, would they feel threatened?

This... I know if I was interrupted from eating my 6" meatball sub with triple extra cheese, onions, and banana peppers by my door getting knocked in my first thought isn't going to be "Oh this must be my friendly local peace officer. I better not shoot him."
unpossible... Alex Jones can't be taken seriously.

Yes, but it was Dianne Feinstein.
Realistic? How often are cops having to shoot at grandma in her kitchen, or a young mom on the playground with her kid, or a pregnant woman in a nursery? And that's beside the little kids with guns.
No, this is very disturbing.
BTW, here's an article that's not from a TFH wholesaler. Is Your Local Police Department Using Pictures of Pregnant Women and Children for Target Practice? - Hit & Run : Reason.com
If you don't hesitate before pulling the trigger on a kid that young, you need to not have a gun at all to say nothing of being paid to fucking carry one.
