I used to work for a law office that represented the police department for Internal Affair complaints and you would be surprised how often the officers would shoot dogs. The best was a case where both officers missed the dog and shot each other in Oakland.
But yeah white people be on some other shyt with their dogs talking about oh don't worry he doesn't bit he's just excited to see you as the dog is foaming at the mouth snarling at you.
And mace is not stopping a pitbull in attack mode, I've seen pits lock down on another dog and even after the other dog was dead the pit refused to let go and even after being beaten with a bat, they ended up shooting that dog too. The only good pit is a dead pit.
