Police dogs are quite vulnerable during these situations, missile attacks being one or if they bite and hold on the dog and handler are vulnerable from the crowd. They are also indisciminate with one level of forces,i.e. officers with batons can downgrade quickly to a proportionate shove, even the the big boys on the horses can use a variety of lower level techniques to deal with different types of protester.
The recent protests in London involved some officers/dogs starting work at 0500hrs and booking off at 0400hrs, the dogs often facing the crowds for hours at a time with no breaks. Hence some of the dogs could be critised by those looking for high drive, focused manstoppers because the real world isn't like that; the threat varies minute to minute.
Dogs will advance on the crowds and deliberately retreat, repeating to busy the crowd whilst units manourvre round the streets to obtain tactical positioning, this is delibitating, I get worn out just holding my dog for 10mins protection work.
Commanders will normally use dogs as a veiled threat to allow the release of officers e.g. 2 Dogs/handlers stood inside a 10ft fence to protect a vulnerable building, the effect of the high fence, barking dogs, no escape or support for protesters may have the effect of detering an attack.
Dogs don't look good from a PR point of view when injuries are shown on the News and they are not popular with Commanders, a common tactic is to use them to protect Police vehicles, a few dogs doing the job of many officers.
Try searching the net for football violence or G20/G8 protests, as in the UK we're not armed, don't use Water Cannon so Dogs and Horses get a lot of use as thats really all we have.
