What you describe in your last line is not human rights. That is not how human rights work, every human has human rights and cannot lose them. If human rights are conditional they will never be applied to those who need them, the opponent. Then you can just get rid of them altogether and it makes no difference.
If there is internal conflict and one combatant kills another combatant it might be murder or not (depends on perspective) but it is likely not a crime against humanity. If you first catch them, then rape them, than torture them, to then kill them. It likely is a crime against humanity. Your paradox may work against tolerance but not necessarily against human rights, unless you proclaim that the raping part is necessary to oppose the intolerant
I think you’re framing this wrong. Hitler deserved human rights, as in if captured he didn’t deserve to be tortured to death. However, people who exist outside of society cannot participate in society, so they need to either be jailed for life (or until rehabilitation, which doesn’t exist in the US) or killed if they can’t be captured. US police in the current iteration exist outside society, so they can’t be afforded the mercy that society provides to its citizens.
