Ga. police under fire for using photo of black man for citizens’ target practice

“That day, they started with that target,” Mansour told the outlet while pointing at an image of a white man. “They ran out of those targets at the range and they put these targets up,” he continued, as he pointed to the large photo of the black man. “Seems like you could see right from the moment you put these pictures up that there was going to be a question,” McDougal told WSB-TV.
