As long as we appeal to likelihoods and fear: in 2020, Pit Bulls killed 33, police kill 938. I can understand why people would run from both.

Another point: bragging about how bitey your dachshund is, as though that vindicates your poorly behaved pitbull, really makes me think you shouldn't own dogs. Why didn't you train your dachshund well? I have met well behaved dachshunds, so what is your excuse? Do violent and poorly trained police justify your violent and poorly trained dogs? Is that what you're trying to say?

No, I'm checking stereotypes. Dachshunds are one of the most aggressive breeds and are well known for their stubbornness. Kudos for anyone able to train them to be well behaved (and ditto for well-trained police)

My dog is a pit-lab mix, but it's telling what you refer to her as. And I'm not sure where you're getting "poorly behaved"; she was literally trying to play with someone in her house. The fact that she wasn't barking or biting the guy should be a telling signal of how well trained and behaved she is, I would think. In other words: the "violent and poorly trained dog" was the one the installer ignored, but the well behaved dog was the one he was afraid of.

There is "suicide by cop". Police don't kill people outside of their official orders (ideally), which are given by politics/law - ofc. you can debate these... and there are electric tasers for example to avoid that police has to shoot.
