It is because they want to be rough and tough protectors of everyone.

My gf was an animal control officer for 5 years in a bad county in California, and she did not ever shoot a dog. In fact, she chewed out a bunch of cops over the years because they immediately wanted to shoot the dog.

Had one time when she had the dog on the pole and it started flipping out. The cop then decided it needed to be shot when she was 5 feet away, holding the dog on a pole. The officer got fired because he popped of 7 rounds, almost hitting her, and none of them connected
