It WAS contained, it was in someone elses yard. Maybe the two neighbours yard connected, and are fenced in together, YOU don't know. The police dog hopped the fence where the Rottie was (irrelevent if it was actually HIS yard or his neighbors) they were all out there.

I think this is a case of miscomunication/misunderstanding. I wouldn't doubt that the owner didn't think his dog was an interference if it was secured in his neighbours yard, him right there. THen the police dog hops the fence and viola, there's a problem.

Its a shame the car theif got away, but I'm glad to see both dogs will be fine. That Rott and its owner is VERY lucky the RCMP did not shoot to kill!! Very lucky.
