Police Sergeant Fired Over Trayvon Martin Shooting Targets

A police sergeant allegedly bought Trayvon Martin shooting targets on the Internet and brought them to a training session, for which he was fired.

Sgt. Ron King, who had been with the Cape Canaveral Port Authority since January 2011, was fired Thursday, authorities said.

On April 4, when two fellow cops discovered King intended to use the Trayvon Martin shooting targets in their weapons exercise, they told him “they didn’t think it was appropriate,” said John Walsh, CEO of the Cape Canaveral Port Authority. The next day, he said the officers informed the Port Authority Police Chief, who called in internal affairs.
