My dad is a cop, and the dogs he's worked with have saved lives many times. It is a very fine line, training dogs to be that aggressive but also safe for their handlers and bystanders, but it certainly is an important job they do. According to my dad, a lot of suspects who aren't afraid of the cops and the guns will be terrified and surrender as soon as they mention sending the dogs in.
I believe the officer who got bit on the hand was going to attempt a 'helicopter', but either wasn't strong enough or it hurt too bad or whatever... when my dad went through police dog training schools overseas, they taught that if the dog turned on you you should grab it by the collar, swing it in a complete circle as high as you can (over your head was considered best) and then slam it to the ground. Looks like this guy may have been trained on the same move, but couldn't carry it out.
