Yet the Police decided that they were qualified to do a risk assessment on the animal's potential danger, which would have to take into account the animal's likely/potential behaviour.

They had to, yes.

They had a vet on-site, did the vet recommend termination?

It appears so:

Several tranquiliser darts had failed to sedate it and the animal was still in "considerable distress", so alongside a vet the decision was made to destroy it, he added.

Who decided that the risk of the animal to the public was significant enough to kill the animal? Are the Police trained to make such risk assessments? I'm guessing they have some training wrt dangerous dogs, etc...

Probably an Inspector based in the control room who would take command of the incident, as well as a Tactical Firearms Commander who would assess whether it's a suitable deployment for firearms officers and what actions can/should be taken by them.

Ultimately the RSPCA (as much as I dislike them) told the Police to just let it be. The Police determined the risk posed was great enough to terminate the animal. But why?

The RSPCA - much like the other organisations the police contacted for assistance - weren't there, Merseyside Police and the vet were. Perhaps next time they'll be more forthcoming.
