When hearing stories of police shooting dogs, can it still be claimed that every day mailmen find a way to deal with dogs in a nonlethal way?

The non-sociopathic ones, sure.

Funny story: yesterday, I went out to breakfast with some friends to a little place that has seating for about 20-25. About 10 minutes in, a cop walks in, outfitted with pistol, Taser, pepper spray, a Batman belt full of restraints, some sort of earphone plugged.into his head, and body armor. He walked to a table in the corner and sat watching the whole room.

Interestingly enough, as he walked in, and for the rest of of the time we were there, the conversation in the room, which had been lively, became muted and people seemed a bit nervous. It may be that people are beginning to see these guys differently.

Keep acting like an occupying army, and people will eventually start to treat them like an occupying army.

The private delivery service guys probably still do.

The difference, FoE, is that this guy actually faces consequences for his actions.

He forgot that his uniform is not the one that confers immunity for your actions.

Everyone knows how dangerous Yorkies are.

Sure, put one on an end of a stick and you've got a push-broom. Wait...
