Sad, but they did the right thing.

If this had been a Military Working Dog, the officer would have been charged with destruction of Government Property and had his career destroyed.

No he did not do the right thing. If a policeman cannot find a way to separate himself from a biting dog then he should not be a policeman. He could have tased the dog and no need to kill him. Many policemen are cowardly thugs who are trigger happy and they are giving bad reputation to the police all over the country.
