NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - A Florida police department has suspended its sniper training program in response to outrage over mug shots of black men being used as targets at a shooting range.
The Miami Herald reports that North Miami Beach Police Chief J. Scott Dennis said late Friday that his department realizes the images may appear to be offensive when viewed apart from other targets used for sniper training, including images of Osama Bin Laden and a man holding a gun to a woman's head.
Dennis says the program's training materials are being reviewed, and commercially produced training images will be ordered.
