I do not believe for a second there is some vast body of covered-up K9 attacks on random people. Do you think IMPD is popping the victims and burying them in the back yard?Are those the only two such attacks in a decade? Where's the data to support that assertion... oh, wait, THAT is the data they refused to release or talk about... ETA: or even acknowledge if it exists or not.
Regardless, are you ok with releasing K9s into residential areas? (I'm definitely NOT absence an active shooter on the loose, or equivalent)
Would you be ok if it was your father/grandfather attacked on his own front porch while minding his own business? Your pregnant wife or daughter attacked on her own front porch. (I would not, and if present for an attack on my father/wife/daughter would have put an immediate, and permanent, halt to the attack)
The article (from 2021) focuses on two attacks that they know of because the attorney for the pregnant woman, who according to the reporting went into pre-mature labor due to the K9 attack, and an elderly man came forward with it. These two are just the most vocal and sympathetic that we know of...
The unanswered question is whether or not ALL K9 bites are recorded and what the record is of attacks on UNINTENDED targets.
IMO, "No comment" is the opposite of "it's not a problem". Also IMO it is more suspicious to not address - makes me suspect that that it is a problem, they know it's a problem, and that they don't want it to surface... "move along, nothing to see here" in the bad sense.
