For non-Americans, this is very much an exaggeration. You can just take your chances if you want. More than likely you and your dog will be fine. Even better odds if you're white!

This is a reason it's taboo to call police to your home.

It's very, VERY much not an exaggeration. Cops love killing dogs, they kill 25-30 a day. I think it's more likely than not to go ok if a cop is in your home, but you absolutely shouldn't assume they're not gonna shoot your dog. There's a horrifyingly high chance they will, no matter what breed you have or how friendly or well trained it is
