Just an FYI, if you do shoot a dog, you can face criminal and civil action. Just being scared is only a defense for cops, regular people need to have more.
Criminal and civil action comes in very few cases. I’m willing to bet very few people are shooting dogs for fun where the absolute majority is in defense of self or property.
Anecdotally the only civil action I’ve heard of is the Nashville case this past year of the guy shooting an off leash German Shepard
Nope. Self-defence laws apply equally to police and non-police. You are confusing the difference in favoribility towards a LEO’s perspective and the general expectation that they do not disengage, with having a different actual standard. (Or more likely uncritically accepting whatever lunatic opinions you read on social media).

Cops absolutely shoot dogs for fun.
