My instict after seeing some of these 'targets' is to be outraged.

Ok, I get it, anybody can go all kooked out and be a danger to LE and civilians alike.

The one that bothered me the most is the woman in a robe with a handgun. The impression I get is she's defending her home. LE's are supposed to 'not hesitate' and just shoot her? Really?

Somebody else said these targets are intended to desensitize officers to the idea of shooting civilians. I'm beginning to think that may be a huge part of it.

While I do not own a tinfoil cap I cannot help but wonder if the DHS is indeed getting ready for a civil uprising.
