went by our local kill shelter the other day, one of the biggest and busiest in the SE USA.
a lot of good dogs, and a ton of pitbull types incarcerated. some with ears and some with ears chopped. in fact they were beautiful. i wouldn't bring one of those beasts home and turn loose in the house for a thousand bucks.
there's no tellin' what kind of disposition they might have, and their jaws are so strong.
Judging from the neighborhood, these folks were likely model citizens who'd never encourage human-directed aggression in their dogs for the purpose of deterring burglary or nosy police.

How about you TRH. Have you encouraged human-directed aggression in your pits?
i find it interesting that the most violent among us tend to prefer the same characteristic in their dogs. Those same dogs (pit bulls) you will NEVER see used as working dogs as they cannot be controlled.
When a Basset Hound goes bad, there might be a bite followed by a retreat, not a determined attack.
As a percentage of their numbers, all factors being equal, Pitbulls are less likely than the vast majority of breeds to inappropriately attack a human being. When they do decide to attack, however, they do so with great determination (surpassing any other breed) and very effectively, thus the more severe consequences to the victims.

Never. Not necessary, due to the fear their mere appearance evokes in those with evil intentions.
That notwithstanding, there are correct and incorrect ways to train a dog in protection work. Your typical neighborhood thugs, however, tend towards the incorrect methods, i.e., creating a generalized tendency to be human-aggressive, rather than a response to command after establishing dominance on the part of the trainer and all family members.
PS I participated in the protection training of my Doberman back in the early 1990s, and it was with the aid of professional trainers, so it was done by the correct method.

Sorry, TAK, but anyone with actual experience with the breed understands your statement to be utterly absurd.
Their breeding is little different from those of working Jack Russel Terriers, just on a larger scale. Were Jack Russel Terriers larger, they'd be just as destructive on the rare occasions they attacked human beings. See, for example, this.

Oh, I forgot about all those bomb sniffing pit bulls in Iraq, and all those in use at the Nuke sites.

It's not because they're not completely capable of it.
