I agree.
Maybe add a curriculum to LEO training of having recruits encounter dogs with a psychological observation of them during these 'encounter' sessions.
It might be eye opening and potentially weed out some recruits.
Of course, this assumes that LE orgs and municipalities/etc. actually care what happens to dogs, and they likely feel that the probability of an innocent human getting shot in the process is low, so they would be better off just paying their liability insurance costs than to spend money on each and every recruit/candidate to see how they respond to dogs. Many have trouble enough finding candidates for the job so they may not want anything that would weed out the ones that might have a problem with dogs.
The feds? Yeah - they simply don't care IMO. Just try taking them to court for a shooting - see how far you get.
