“What if I told you police in your town could desensitize themselves to the idea of shooting a (armed) child, pregnant woman, or young mother, for just a couple of bucks? The ‘No More Hesitation’ series from Law Enforcement Targets Inc. offers exactly that. For less than 99 cents per target, police can shoot at real-life images ‘designed to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training.’ The series contains seven targets in all, titled Pregnant Woman, Older Man 1, Older Man 2, Older Woman, Young Mother, Young Girl, and Little Brother. Each of the depicted subjects is armed.”
