Shocking...
I can see legitimate use for those targets for local LEOs in training to deal with school shootings or domestic violence incidents- they don't all fit the same mold and its not far fetched to see a teen shooting his classmates or a pregnant woman going nutso and killing her own kids, stuff like this happens and Deity bless the cops who have to respond to such incidents.
OTOH, the DOD and DHS have NO legitimate reason whatsoever to be using such targets. They aren't responding to domestic disputes or school shooting, they aren't supposed to be in people's bedrooms or in public parks or schools.
So... what is the purpose of them buying up
millions of these targets for 'training purposes?'
This sort of reminds me of stories I've read about the desensitizing training the 'Hitler Youth' and or young SS recruits received. Kids were given German Shepard puppies to have and take care of, and after a certain period of time the kids were forced to kill the dogs with their bare hands in order to break their empathy for living things and make them reliable killers.
Somehow, I find it fairly easy to imagine goon squads 'training' by taking turns firing at these targets posted in front of a freshly dug shallow pit.
