This title is misleading.
Being targeted by UAS does not mean he is about to have a GBU-12 dropped in his general vicinity.
Don't be the entity touting mislabeled content. It makes you no better than the other side of the propaganda.

"Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil.
A senior police source said: “The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
Asked directly if drones have already been deployed, Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, who is jointly leading the task force, said: “We are using all the tools at our disposal.”
The use of drones was later confirmed by Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio, who revealed agents have been prepared for Dorner to make a dash for the Mexican border since his rampage began.
He said: “This agency has been at the forefront of domestic use of drones by law enforcement. That’s all I can say at the moment.”

I saw this posted on Facebook and I thought they meant that he had been confirmed killed by a drone which sent my head spinning with rage. To be the "target of a drone" usually means "killed by a drone" not "being searched for with a drone."
Drones piss me off. The Army War College had a panel once where an Air Force Colonel told us, "Drones are extrajudicial killings, meaning there's no laws." As far as he was concerned, it would be absolutely legitimate for a combatant to attack a soldier driving their pickup home from an Arizona military base where he had just finished remotely controlling a drone.
The concept of "the battlefield" has been expanded greatly. During a hearing on domestic or "homegrown" terrorism, Senator Lindsey Graham stated, "I don't see why the Supreme Court wouldn't consider the Homeland part of the battlefield."
It's all very messy. And the collateral damage is intense. On the order of hundreds of innocents to one or two alleged terrorists. The lack of due process is also disturbing. And the effectiveness is questionable.
Killing terrorist leaders does not lower terrorist attacks, in fact, I've seen statistics that show otherwise. The attacks increase, but those attacks are less effective in terms of casualties because the drone attacks killed all the smart terrorists. Risky trade off.
All that said, I'm pretty okay with the police using drones like helicopters in cases like this. I don't think they should be used to bomb people, but they are a cheaper safer way to do that kind of eye-in-the-sky surveillance than using a helicopter. Especially, since this guy says he has the gear to shoot down helicopters.

Yeah, these drones are not armed, they are using thermal imaging. Beforeitsnews likes to spice up the titles for linkbaiting, and the word "target" came from the original writer, specifically because he knew the effect it would give.
So, Jason Bourne is really black? I saw that part in the movie, where he was shooting down drones and shit.
This can't be real life.
One man... Doing all this? And they can't find him. Why do I have a feeling they will never find him unless he wants to be found?

The guy who they wanted for setting off bombs during the 1996 Olympics (Eric Rudolph) was on the run for a couple years, too. He had similar training, and was hiding out in the mountains in TN and GA. He basically got tired of eating tree bark, went into town and started eating out of dumpsters until they caught up to him.

Nonsense. Finding one highly trained individual is impossible, but finding 100 or 1000 would be far easier, and just boil down to a couple of good firefights.
You will probably say "No, I mean what if there were 100 or 1000 guys Just Like Him, all acting independently?"
Yeah, that would be scary, but it would be very unlikely. Guys like this, with that level of training and commitment are unique. More likely would be some sort of group action, and with that many people that's easy to find and put down.
I'd FAR rather deal with a group than one guy with a mission.
My John Joe Gray trading card just beat the crap out of your Eric Rudolphs. Hope that wasn't the only one you had!
His downfall will be the fact that he is a 270 lb black dude that looks like LL Cool J's chubby cousin. Pretty hard to blend in or avoid being recognized when you have a distinctive look to you.
Damn, never heard about that guy but that's pretty badass right there.
