Florida Police Officer Fired For Distributing Trayvon Martin Shooting Targets

He thought this was a good idea in spite of other officers informing him otherwise.

The shooting range targets offered by Sgt. Ron King to other officers show a hooded figure with a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea, and a target on the chest.

An internal affairs report claims King’s possession of the targets, and his offer to give them to other officers, violated three department policies on professional conduct, respectful conduct and harassment in the workplace.

The report also revealed that King was involved with the targets months before the police chief found out about them in April, and began proceedings to fire him. The report claims that other officers warned him about the targets.

“You’re crazy,” and “That’s a real bad idea” some said when they first saw the targets in 2012, according to the report.

Despite that, the report says King offered one to another officer at a shooting range on April 2.

King, in a YouTube video, said the targets were a teaching aid covering decisions over when to shoot and when not to shoot.
