Pictures from the Villa Rica Police Department’s Firearms Safety Class on June 17, 2023, show them using a Black man’s face for target practice. Police Chief Michael Mansour explained in an interview with Atlanta Black Star that during these training sessions, there’s a very diverse amount of photo-realistic targets used for shooting practice. Black, Hispanic, Asian-American, white, and many other types of photo-realistic targets are used at the range. “The reason we use photo-realistic targets is because you can put a little bit of adhesive on the target,” he explained. Mansour also explained to WSBTV that the team also used white photos for targets that day; they were not present in the image posted.
