The police, of course, were the most obvious and visible manifestation of this power, and in a riot they were one of the most convenient targets for the rioters. Newsmen and firemen also became victims of rock and bottle throwing. White-owned stores throughout the ghettoes formed another target for this anger.
By the time they were in position their quarry had slipped out of sight and they had only the blackening boulders for targets. "God amighty," cried Ronicky Joe, "are you goin' to let that murderin' hound-dog get clear off, Pete? Boys, who's with me for a run at him?"
Some people said "Weather targets," but the chances of a weather target's making a 180-degree turn just as an airplane turns into it, giving a radar lock-on, then changing speed to stay just out of range of the airplane's radar, and then slowing down when the airplane leaves is as close to nil as you can get.

The orders were that every effort be made to pick off such of the enemy as offered themselves for targets, and before the day had come to an end St.

Others of the Spaniards contrived to mount the wall, helping each other, and hastened to succour those who had gained the gate.
By noontide he had walked eight miles, and came to a green place where men were shooting at targets, the tall thick grass all around them; and a little way farther off was a train of people chanting and bearing crosses and dressed in long flowing robes. The place was the Hottinger Au, and the day was Saturday, and the village was making ready to perform a miracle play on the morrow.
