You misunderstand my point. The cops' dogs are "fair game" (except you are committing vandalism or similar crime), they are just livestock, just like yours are, in the eyes of the law. I advocate no violence against a person.

And I am talking about pet dogs, not service dogs. The law treats crime against service dogs similar to crime against a human.

The law treats crime against service dogs similar to crime against a human.

Which is absolutely ridiculous: an animal is not human.
The only thing such policies do are (a) reduce the value of real, human lives; (b) elevate government agents/property above that of even the life/well-being of the citizen; and (c) encourages the mentality that government agent is superior-to and unbound-by normal law (i.e. special cases).

But why take out your action on other innocent dogs when the human is to blame? The dogs wouldn’t have shot your dog.
