So basically you have a very skewed opinion with no facts to back your opinion up.

Why don't you look up the statistic for how many officers in the USA are killed in the line of duty.
99 humans and 5 k-9s this year alone so far. 40 from guns, 40 from vehicles and 19 from "other" which includes knives.

Guess what the most deaths in farming and ranching are caused from...drinking on the job.
They don't have the potential for their equipment to shoot or stab them...
Farmers are 1.59 times more likely to die from alcoholism than average
Cross-sectional data from a community household sample (n = 591) describe the alcohol use patterns of adult males and females, and farm workers vs. others. Data reveal that men were more likely to be current drinkers than women, 75.1% vs. 65.8% (p = 0.033); farm laborers were more likely to be current drinkers than individuals in other occupations 83.1% vs. 66.8% (p = 0.004). Group, binge drinking on weekends was the norm; men were more likely to be binge drinkers in the past week than women 59.8% vs. 48.8% (p = 0.086); farm workers were more likely to binge than others 75.0% vs. 47.5% (p < 0.001).

Now, the question becomes was the killing of the animal justified or is it animal cruelty? We seem to agree that the animal posed no threat...
Even a calm mellow dog, that is small can become a lethal biting machine if the circumstances are correct and it views there is a threat to its pack.

No. A bite to the ankle can be just as damaging or even to the leg or the arm, or the hand.
