In this case, they shouldn't have shot the dog. But sometimes they can't help it, they have to kill a dog to protect themselves. I was watching a show (cops, acctully) and the NYPD's Emergency Services Unit (SWAT) was assigned to carry out a high risk arrest/search warrent on an apartment. As they were walking down the hall towards the apartment, the people inside heard them coming, released a pit bull, and ordered it to kill the officers. The ESU officers tried to stop the dog without hurting it, but they couldn't. One officer opened fire on the dog just in time to stop it from attacking him. The dog was killed, and the owners were arrested. They did try everything they could, including running away from the dog, but sometimes there isn't any other option.

But, in the case of what happened according to the article (and remember that the media doesn't nessicerly publish the WHOLE truth) there was no need at all to kill the dog.
