The situation dealing with Mr. Dorner, an ex cop is really
astonishing. These two articles deal with several human rights issue such as
gun use, mental health checks for government employees, the rights of government
agency and the ultimate safety of the general public. The first article describes
the actions of Dorner and his “capture,” while the second article describes the
lengths (and mistakes) LAPD officers made in hunting down the renegade cop. The
story is that a LAPD cop was fired from his job causing him to to wage a one-man
war against the entire department. He successfully killed 4 officers and was
later found burned alive. In the process of finding Dorner, there were several
cases of innocent people being shot at due to unrestricted police gun use. The
second article describes how a man, that did not resemble Dorner at all, was
shot at multiple times by the police just as a “precaution.” This is definitely
against our rights because the police shouldn’t be shooting at anyone regardless
of the victim is innocent or not (unless the victim has a weapon and has fired
it). The police are a government entity that should be the first to follow the
rules, not break them. To combat this issue, these officials need better and
harder training. Also, in terms of the renegade cop, this should not have been
an issue in the first place. Proper mental health checkups should be administered
to government officials to ensure that they are reliable for duty.
