Seems like they couldn't take a risk in a populated area, as dammage79 said.
Sad to see that happen but people come before animals, especially animals that are capable of attacking and seriously injuring people. Personally, having no experience with the protocol for tranquilizing and removing animals, I'd give the officers the benefit of the doubt, unless someone educates me otherwise.
