Police are civvies too as are their dogs!I don't doubt that and have met several well-adjusted and happy police dogs. However, aspects of that training can be much more brutal than a civilian dog would normally be put through.
Dogs would normally hunt in larger packs and not something capable of easily killing them - think wolves on sheep.
I have less of a problem with that as firstly it's passive, well at least until it gets aggressive, and it is very close to a dog's natural sense of protecting its patch.
Totally agree - have known dog handlers who have loved their dogs no different to other owners - more so often because of the working bond.
And I'm not saying this because of sympathy for the folks taken down - although dogs are used by bad guys as much as good - but out of sympathy for dogs put in dangerous situations they would normally not have encountered.
Funny, I've had quite aggressive comebacks when I've expressed that opinion elsewhere, but here it's all thoughtful, even when disagreeing

Military dogs occupy a pretty wide range of temperament and training profiles from happy, sniffy search dogs to war dogs (probably don't have too many 'officially') who make police dogs look like pussycats. The vast majority don't make good pets even in retirement. You can if you want to.....
