ATLANTA — The Georgia and Carroll County chapters of the NAACP led a protest Thursday afternoon against the Villa Rica Police Department over images showing a picture of a Black man being used as a shooting target during a safety class earlier this month.
The department posted the photos and a video on social media nearly two weeks ago, showing civilians firing at the poster of the Black gunman. That immediately sparked pushback on social media and from some in the community.
The post was removed, and police expressed regret over the incident.
