I have often wondered about certain aspects of cop training. For instance, the cop comes to my door, I open it, the cop sees my dog, shoots my dog. I calmly look at the police officer and say "Do you have a warrant? No? Then I can't let you in. But I'll be happy to step outside and speak with you -- but, first, will you excuse me? I'd like to go break the news to my wife about the dog. I'll be right back ..."

Is the cop trained to immediately start running at that point? Because he oughta.

No. He will come in your house and detain you in the name of “officer safety”.

You forgot that he has left your kids hogtied with restraints in the front yard to watch your dog bleed out and knocked grandpa unconscious. To gain control of the scene, ensuring everyone’s safety of course.
