> who then shoot the police dog

What would you expect them to do? Play fetch with it?

I think, despite the humor fail, you have an accidental point, because the police dogs DO fetch unarmed hidden offenders.

Exactly. So the bad guys will treat those dogs as they would any other threat.

Liable to go badly for the dogs when the bad guys are armed.
