A Michigan police chief has apologized after it emerged that the department used images of Black men during target practice


(CNN) A Michigan police chief has issued a public apology after reports that targets with images of Black men were seen at his department's target practice area. Concerns about the images were initially raised in April, after a Boy Scout troop toured the building used for target practice by the Farmington Hills Police Department, according to CNN affiliate WXYZ. "The difference between a threat assessment target and a silhouette target is threat assessment targets allow you to identify if a threat is there. The chief said 85% of the targets used during training are Caucasians and 15% are Black. Mayor Barnett said all of the images used in these situational awareness training exercises have been taken down during the city's review.
