Would putting the dog down still be "the right thing" if the dog only ever bit coppers? What if the dog had been trained to smell and attack coppers by its previous owner, and was no threat to actual humans?

Humm. As a child I was bitten by a dog on a lead in the street. If I had the blood condition I have today it could have been very serious. As it was it was just serious.
The dog needs a muzzle more than the cop needs flowers.

Muzzle.
That's all.

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Police dogs bite civilian people all the time, they don't put them down, so a civilian dog biting a copper is just par for the course.
But once a dog has bitten, you must muzzle it in public, if not and it happens again you become very fucking liable. It's no big deal to muzzle a dog, they get used to it very quickly and it doesn't stop their enjoyment of walks, so needs to be done.

She might be better off keeping him inside while she does the muzzle training - there's loads of guides online. You need peanut butter or squeezy cheese. She can play loads of games/training with him instead of doing walks as it's the mental stimulation they need as much as anything. Plus his cortisol levels will be sky high and it takes 3 days to reset them so keeping him in and under threshold is a good idea.
Most dogs are fine with muzzles if you train them properly plus they have the bonus of looking a bit scary which means people with shitty badly behaved dogs keep away.

Would he be able to be taken off the lead in the park with a muzzle, or may his impotent aggression lead to other dogs to respond and set about him whilst he's left defenceless?

I just came back to post the exact same thing. I had a police dog handler push his Alsation into me at the poll tax riots, and the dog bit me. I tried to complain and got a punch in the face for my troubles.
Fuck the copper. I hope it hurt.

I probably wouldn't - at least not for now. But you can let reactive dogs off lead, you just have to be a bit careful about it. So basically, keep your wits about you, go really, really early or really late and/or go when other people/dogs aren't around. Unfortunately, dogs on lead can be a lot more reactive if they're bothered by a dog off lead (because they can't get away) so you're always reliant on other dog owners obeying the unwritten 'if you see a dog on lead, put your dog on lead if it cannot be 100% guaranteed to ignore the other dog'.
I really recommend the yellow jacket
Am with Athos on this.I like dogs but I wouldn't keep one with a tendency to attack people.When I was a kid our spaniel bit another lad that came to call on us.Amazingly the lad and,more to the point,his parents took it in good part.I still feel guilty when I bump into this lad ,now in his forties,cos you can still see the duelling scar our dog left him with.We did put that dog down btw.
The dog doesn't deserve to die ffs 
Hypothetical question but what if it had been a toddler-would your answer be the same?The dog doesn't deserve to die ffs
Yes

Disagree I'm afraid. If the woman had been interacting with the dog and it nipped her, it's worth having a look at the circumstances but whilst on a lead, biting a stranger who was minding their own business just walking past??? I'd never trust the dog again and would almost certainly take it for a trip to the vet.The dog doesn't deserve to die ffs

In other dog news, I was listening to a podcast with David Sedaris.

A woman he knows has a pug. He had an eye issue as loads do. He had the cone of shame on but complained about it for a couple of days until the owner got sick of it and took the cone off.
He then scratched his eye out of his socket then ate it

Nearly as bad as Badgers
People with small dogs often have this attitude and it's not good*. Has the dog had any formal training? It should and after biting really needs assessment from a decent behaviourist (it's a thing honest
).I have a small breed and would have no forgiveness for biting. None. Muzzle and training asap.
*eta: small breeds often do the most harm. Dachshunds top the chart iirc.

heckling from the back!
Muzzle and a lot of extra training.
If this dog has the bad habit of attacking people, the Dogs Trust need to be warned to tighten up their screening.
Unfortunately, that is likely to result in more rescues being pts.
There are quite a few rescues that will "test" a rescue for food related aggression (before the dog has time to realise that food isn't scarce anymore) and will pts if any is such behaviour is displayed.

Having not been bitten by a dog since my early teens, I have twice been bitten in the last 5 years, since turning 50, once by a Jack Russell when I was making a delivery to a house, and the other time by a something just slightly bigger, that was the one on the street, that drew blood, little cunts.

He's a right old mix. Bit bigger than Jack Russell but kind of sausage like, with markings like a DobermanBear in mind if it's any kind of terrier it's bred to kill foxes and rats and so on. It can definitely do plenty of damage.
On the upside dog training is really fun and bonding so she should be all over that

Who am I to say you're wrong
Probably the cancer or rotting flesh associated with it. I know she is a pig but give the woman a break. If she is recovering from cancer or still has it then maybe the dog could be one of those cancer sniffing dogs. With a muzzle could catch cancers in people at an early stage.
The last thing a person needs when recovering from cancer is a dog bite. The last thing a dog needs when being re-homed is a habit of biting strangers. It is possible that it was the smell of the cancer in which case the dog could prove to be very useful.
